Carsten Jost's third studio album arrives on Dial — the beloved Hamburg label he co-runs with Lawrence — and La Collectionneuse is exactly the kind of record the imprint was built to release. Ten tracks named with the sequential simplicity of a suite, the album unfolds as a charming waltz through chugging house music with the deeply decadent and emotive quality that defines the very best of Dial's catalogue.
Named after Eric Rohmer's 1967 film, the album carries something of that film's elegant, unhurried sensibility — unhurried progressions, warm analogue textures and the kind of groove that rewards sustained listening rather than immediate gratification. Each of the ten movements builds on the last with the patience and coherence of a producer entirely at ease with the long form, the suite structure inviting the listener to surrender to the full arc rather than cherry-pick individual moments. Deeply decadent, quietly emotive and entirely in its own world. A third album that confirms Carsten Jost as one of deep house's most consistently rewarding voices.
