Genuinely one of the easiest albums to get into this summer, Triptimein is cinematic but non-intrusive – Enagee’s humility is massively refreshing, and the world-music fusion of traits found throughout these indie-electronic compositions is both evocative and soothing in its quiet consideration of the world and the role of the self.
