Let's forget that
Saroos
is a closed, three-minded system: a fixed and fully committed entity of three. Known to reinvent themselves in less drastic ways,
Christoph Brandner
,
Max Punktezahl
, and
Florian Zimmer
, have opened the floodgates to collaboration on their quietly explosive latest album
Turtle Roll
. Announced by 2021 singles "Tin & Glass" featuring
Ronald Lippok
and aptly titled "Frequency Change" featuring
Leila Gharib
aka
Sequoyah Tiger
, the sixth full-length sees the Berlin threesome add another handful of vocal guests along the way. Kicked off by the motoric B-funk (Berlin represent) of the Lippok-assisted "Tin & Glass," complete with retro-futuristic effects, spoken declarations, and non-terrestrial vibes, it might not be
Daft Punk
playing at their house, but a byobv (vibe) house party of musical minds isn't too far off, actually! Once again as much a mixtape as an album, the mood, vibe, and color changes with every new collaborative tune: From ethereally soothing and dreamy ("The Mind Knows" featuring
Solent
from Canada) to clap-driven and wildly hypnotic (that pounding "Mutazione," featuring vocals and rhymes courtesy of
Eva Geist
from Italy) and almost radio-ready when that stadium-sized oomph of "Frequency Change" featuring Sequoyah Tiger arrives around halfway in. Elsewhere, Japanese guest
Kiki Hitomi
(
WaqWaq Kingdom
) adds exotic ecstasy to the hypothermic beatscapes of "The Sign," while Ukrainian vocalist
Lucy Zoria
pushes poetic layers over "Southern Blue"'s wonky foundation that hardens and finds more direction with each round the beat clock takes -- until it's impossible to escape that undertow. "My baby makes it better," sings
Caleb Dailey
on the faithful and still-loving "Being with You," a sepia, softly churning look back by the US songsmith, a sweetly shimmering ode to a relationship. Speaking of foursomes, there's four instrumental tracks scattered throughout the new LP -- ranging from a painting in crystal clear colors of night ("Organ of Recall") to the highly dramatic sonic tapestry of "Thicket" (with vocals as well). Before the perfect goodbye of slow-moving album closer "Here Before," "Passed Out" sounds like
Odd Nosdam
finding his feet after blacking out on a German carnival. Titled after a surf maneuver that allows you to break through the crests on the way out, Saroos have skipped the obvious waves with
Turtle Roll
-- creating their own kind of sonic "Hang Ten" by adding seven new voices to the mix. Includes download code; edition of 300.
