The official video release for Open Eye Signal off Jon Hopkins‘ forthcoming new album Immunity is a spot on reflection of Hopkins’ music. Akin to the skateboarder image, the music cruises along in a continuous groove. In fact, it’s common for the same progression or theme to chug along for the entirety of a song without any material ups or downs, chord changes or shifts in tempo. Yet, somehow he manages to keep it captivating with subtleties. It’s a modern format of confident minimalist music.
