After seemingly being everywhere in 20, Com Truise’s 2013 offered only a solitary remix for Canadian producer Blood Diamonds and a smattering of DJ and live shows. And time is certainly something Haley has allowed himself plenty of in formulating this, his largest collection of new work since 2011’s Galactic Melt LP. Regardless of one’s feelings about Com Truise and his music, it would seem inarguable that Haley’s sound is one that could easily drift into banal self-parody if not developed over time. However, in harder-nosed, colder frames of mind, the same music’s hyper-stylized maneuvers can occasionally seem tiresome. ![]() ![]() In loose, romantic, wistful moments, the best of Seth Haley’s high-sheen outings (“Brokendate” or “VHS Sex,” for instance) appeal to a nostalgia-junkie area of the brain over which few of us have much control.
