Into The Hillside

Jason Drake, a.k.a. Cassettes Won’t Listen, earned fans by reworking other people’s material as both a deft remixer and a cover artist. His innate grasp of how to dismantle and reassemble songs is evident on his second album, a collection of lush instrumental tracks that alternate between effervescent jams with head-nodding breakbeats (“Speeder,” “MPC”) and proto-chillwave numbers that float on a cloud of ’80s synths (“Back to LA,” “Quickly Approaching”). The total effect is both breezy and bracing.
