Xeno (Happy Puppy)

The songs on Lee Rosevere’s spacy, warm, and charmingly analogue-feeling Xeno aren’t going to get any raging parties started at Skrillex’s penthouse suite, but they do make for pretty great soundtrack music. Got an afternoon to kill picking space flowers a couple of galaxies away on the sun-flooded planet of Zontar? Cue up the celestial, Tangerine Dream–flavoured meditation that is “Noctiluca”. Feel like contemplating your mortality while floating through the sun-kissed heavens at dawn? “Question and Answer” is your ethereal jam. Elsewhere, the relentlessly creepy keyboards that kick off “Juno II” seem ripped right from the final reel of an ’80s vintage John Carpenter horror flick, making it a perfect start for your next witching-hour killing spree.

All this makes the synth-based Xeno stunning chillout music geared to those with a serious thing for transglobal meditation, not to mention daily bong-huffing. If you need a sonic backdrop for high-gloss HD documentary movies that don’t exist anywhere but in your ever-wandering mind, start here and get ready to bliss completely out.
