Peter Vogelaar’s newest long-play ‘Inner Creatures’ Is a firm nod to the likes of Four Tet, Bonobo and Caribou, yet Peter’s sound is always about innovation, not recreation. The album’s title alludes to the introspective nature of crafting a body of work, not just the moments writing but those reflecting.

Lovette Ft. Sacred Animals is the LP’s half-way-house, and serves as a commercial floor-filler with staccato bass riffs that dominate the driving beat and grooving hats. The lead vocal is glowing and encapsulating, switching from airy falsetto and full bodied over verses.

Although naturally at home with emotive instrumentals, Vogelaar clearly has a knack for bringing guest vocalists into new territories. Pulling in the likes of Deaf Joe, Sacred Animals, Ken Lally and Katie Kim for some of Inner Creatures’ finest tracks.

From the opening lush downbeat of ‘Felicity Breathes’ to the closing opus ‘Fantasy Lines’ , the 9 richly textured tracks on Inner Creatures explore a diverse emotional terrain that come together to inhabit a danceable, eclectic world of their own…
