Jules Hale directs Den-Mate - the multi-faceted dark pop project born in her bedroom in rural Virginia - towards even greater creative heights on her new LP Loceke. The album finds Hale assessing the darkness of her past with a fresh perspective, treating what was once wholly terrifying with a bit of tenderness. The result is a nuanced and grooving take on the story of death and rebirth.
Next to the icy lo-fi electronics of last year's Entropii, this latest offering sounds lush and full - its varied instrumentation, choice sample use, and Hale's distinct vocal affectation and unmistakable production flourishes keep the sound and feel consistent throughout. While not a concept record in a traditional sense, Loceke draws listeners through the song cycle of darkness and renewal. Borrowing and expanding on concepts from like-minded songwriters and producers including Bjork, Kim Gordon and Mica Levi, Hale is poised to make a mark of her own through Den-Mate.
