The only album from Paul Kominek as Pawel — and it is one of those records that feels complete in a way that makes you understand why it remained singular. A dancing cotton-pillow made of music notes, from the artwork to every last detail of the sound design: everything is dedicated to softness and elegance, to positive simplicity, to something pure without a tiny dust of attitude.
Ten tracks of deep house, tech house and minimal that move with a light, timeless, clear-as-water quality — laid to grass, wearing a cotton knit pullover, looking at a few clouds in a bright blue sky. Kominek's humble and fragile aesthetic brings a fresh romance to the album that is not forced or performed but seems to arise naturally from a producer who communicates rarely, moves quietly and makes music that sounds all the more appealing and timeless for that restraint. Panamerican, Dawn, Mate and Wasting My Time are among Dial's most quietly essential recordings, the whole record a prime example of what simplicity in music can achieve when it is genuinely felt rather than constructed. A record you return to and find exactly as you left it — warm, clear and entirely unhurried.
