New Jerome LOL – “Alma”

Yesterday, Los Angeles-based imprint Body High released the Work Volume 1 compilation, an eclectic collection of club tracks from the likes of Cedaa, Grown Folk and Myrryrs. Of course, it comes as no surprise that two of the tape’s absolute highlights come from Body High label bosses Jerome LOL and Samo Sound Boy. Samo’s contribution comes in the form of “Your Love” from the EP of the same name, a beautifully composed acid number that has outpaced the rest of the house music pack. Jerome turned in a brand new track in “Alma”, a harmonically complex gem replete with pipping vocals, a slightly swung rhythm and plenty of reverb. As always, Jerome brings out the most of what might come off as a dour sound palette, working melancholic melodies and a wispy female vocalist into an absolute head-nodder.
