Spencer Stephenson's second full-length under the Botany moniker, Dimming Awe, the Light Is Raw scours away the haze of his underrated 2013 debut. Stephenson's biggest strength is his ability to weave all of his influences—Eastern-based samples, throbbing hip-hop beats, stretches of noodly ambient—into alternatingly danceable and meditative psychedelia.
