Kona Triangle is Matt aka Keaver & Brause and Tom aka Lone who make quiet and relaxed atmospheric and breezy beats basing themselves out of Cedar Hills, UK. The outcome is layered, blissful and warm song structures that might remind the listener of Boom Bip or Boards of Canada. Both Lone and Keaver & Brause seem to always get this comparison, which makes sense. The album opens with a short intro followed by my favorite track off the album, “Shine Alight.” “Shine Alight” is a dreamy, layered track full of explosive drums and synth that seems to billow in and out around the drums. “Mango Rubicon,” a later track, starts out with ambient noise and bird chirps as an introduction and slowly moves into a different sound with a side stepping beat and a floating melody. I’m quite impressed with this release, not to mention the solo work of Keaver & Brause and Lone. Recommended.
