"Human Voice" is an ether of circuitry plaintive emotion that is unmistakably Dntel. Even without lyrics and the radiant personality of a guest vocalist attached to them, these 8 tracks convey the same depths of emotion, despair, longing, hope, and optimism that have touched the lives of so many listeners. Human Voice demonstrates that the real complexity and driving emotion has always been emanating straight out of the machines, effectively communicating as competently as human language. Music is a language all its own, able to convey emotional complexity with the same deftness as words— and without the immense frustration of language barriers.

The vocal-less Human Voice plays like a purging of the titular baggage Dntel's Jimmy Tamborello has carried in his arsenal since 2001. Free of collaborations, the record gently nudges him back into the spotlight to speak his mind alone, and even if his voice isn't the most exciting and innovative one in today's electronic music landscape, it is unmistakably his own.

Multifaceted electronic musician Jimmy Tamborello crafted a visionary blend of technically proficient electronica and heart-on-the-sleeve indie rock with his Dntel project.
