The musical pairing of singer Lailah Reich and producer/arranger Radius Etc pilots listeners through some mesmeric sound fields and truly serene modes on their newest offering, the Injera album. Throughout the project, the Dia.L duo showcases the beautiful possibilities that can arise when musicians allow their songs to grow and expand in an organic way (a notion that seems almost quaint in today’s musical landscape). Each piece that the band serves up feels like the result of an effortless one-take session between the two performers – with Reich‘s voice given off a light and vaporous allure as Radius‘ MIDI-controllers & synthesizers serve up energy building rhythms. Standout cuts include a bit of laid-back radiance called “Everything Is Everything“, which opens the record; an uprocking but still shimmering jazztronica number called “Minor/Major“; some funky & dubby electro-soul brilliance called “Sonny’s Apt“; and a clubby gem called “Ginger & Mint” – which almost allows you to see Lailah and Radius holding court at a hotel pool party during a chilled disco & house DJ set.
