On his debut Ital LP, Daniel Martin-McCormick (Mi Ami, Sex Worker, Black Eyes), jumbles familiar house signifiers until they represent something sloppy, shaggy, and surprisingly thoughtful.

Ital is the latest alias of Daniel Martin-McCormick, a San Francisco-based deep thinker and genre iconoclast whose résumé includes punk/noise/experimental mayhem with the groups Black Eyes and Mi Ami, and weird, murky solo electronic pop excursions as Sex Worker.

7 / 10

Fast living means any downtime must be quick and concentrated, so at only five tracks and forty minutes long, Daniel Martin-McCormick has much to pack into his adventuring onto ambient dancefloors.
