Fast Planet
Jes, Mr. Conversation, Various Singles
Fast Planet isn’t another dorm room electronic pop project, despite the initial urge to categorize it that way. Instead, the Memphis collective’s four members spent 13 years making other kinds of music, parted ways, and reconnected through what became "Jes" (like “yes”). The experience and history shows, as each layer of lush synth and clatter in the distance is deliberately placed, the production gleaming and rich. Though a first outing, mellow and subtle, it feels closer to a masterwork– and as far as possible from any sort of dormitory. —Consequence of Sound
