Bubble Love: Bubble Love review – Ross From Friends’ high-energy pop-club side project
Producer Felix Weatherall adopts another guise, swapping lo-fi analogue for a disorienting burst of alternative dance music
His latest project, under the alias Bubble Love, is a sharp pivot away from sepia-toned gauziness: it’s a high-energy pop-club record that’s extremely fun, if far from groundbreaking. Believe, a warm, jazz-sampling take on the frisky stop-start of Canadian producer Kaytranada, is both sensual and party-starting; Double Caper and Faceless capture the twinkle and shine of great nu-disco. Hate, a furious, minimalist garage track, and <3 <3, which combines calypso drums, a lithe Houston hip-hop guitar line and unnerving computerised vocal samples, feel like appropriately disorientating Two Shell tributes.
