Dave Stitch’s Paradise Syndrome is a richly textured electronic cut that immediately pulls the listener into its carefully constructed world. The track’s foundation lies in its beautifully balanced low end, which locks in seamlessly with shimmering higher tones to form a rhythm that feels both indulgent and hypnotic. There’s a satisfying sense of weight and motion here, one that invites repeated listens without ever becoming predictable.

With the arrival of Get Fluffy, the experimental supergroup CVCHE has officially traded stadium-sized choruses for the intricate, cold machinery of "Rural Canadian Techno." Featuring heavyweights from Metric, Broken Social Scene, and Kings of Leon, the project successfully avoids the pitfalls of a vanity side-project by leaning into a gritty, modular-heavy sound. The album is a sonic playground of vintage oscillators and late-night "sock jam" energy, moving from the sweeping, cosmic vistas of "The Star" to the tense, industrial pulse of "Private Volcano." Early internet buzz has been largely celebratory, with fans on Reddit praising the technical depth of the production while remaining playfully sceptical of the band’s foray into $FLUFFY memecoins. Critics have noted that while the record lacks the radio-ready hooks of its members' main bands, it replaces them with a fascinating, maximalist density that feels communal rather than solitary. Tracks like "Bitcoin Takes a Hit" showcase a sleek, IDM-inspired edge that signals a serious commitment to the electronic underground. Ultimately, Get Fluffy is a bold, "leftfield" pivot that rewards patient listeners with its atmospheric restraint and analogue warmth. It is a standout debut that proves these indie veterans are just as comfortable in a basement studio as they are on a festival stage.
