Sweater on Polo's first full-length missive (previously he delivered a mini-album for L.I.E.S back in 2023) is little less than a love letter to the formative years of Chicago house. While the NYC-based producer is not the first to offer up cuts that sound like they could have been made in the Windy City between 1985 and 1988, there's an authentic dustiness, looseness and rawness to the sound - all lo-fi synth licks, jacking machine drums, far-sighted intent and Ron Hardy inspired arrangements - frequently missing from such musical exercises. Highlights are plentiful, from the Adonis-referencing opener 'In The House (Vocal Mix)' and the pitched-down early J.M Silk flex of 'Box Wizard', to the Paul Simpson-goes-to-Chicago vines of 'Proto Wave' and the squelchy-and-pop of the alien-sounding 'House Rockin Dream'.
