If you’ve heard Intershop, and you liked it, don’t even bother reading this and go and pick up Oasis straight away. Hearing Intershop was the first time in my life I ever had an idea of what someone might mean by a “best album of the year”. Oasis is another glorious collection of downbeat, remarkably individual tracks of a similar quality. Layers of harmonic content swirls in and out, often dominated by slabs of what sounds like samples collected from rather dirty vinyl, surface noise intact. Low-key beats are again present, but are never as propulsive as they were on some of the tracks on Intershop. Dettinger’s sound is hard to describe, because any of these elements could refer to so many other releases. There is a certain simplicity to the results, something raw and upfront about them, that really makes Dettinger stand out from either the saccharin sheen or wrought complexity of much contemporary production.
