isoléeのニューシングルが自身のレーベル〈Resort Island〉からリリースされました。タイトル曲「chopstick!」から「「love algorithm (3rd paces dub」」まで４曲で構成されたEP。isolée自らDUBを銘打ったトラックもあります。HERBERT同様、注目されはじめた当初から異色な才能。単純な快楽ではない、意味を裏返しにしていくような底知れない謎が深みに誘います。
isolée is best known for his early work, the now 90s classic "beau mot plage" (1998), included on his first Album "rest" (2000), his second album "we are monster" selected as "best new album" and highly rated Album of the year 2005 in Pitchfork. "Allowance" (2013) on DJ Koze's Pampa Label, "Pisco" (2016) on Mano le Tough's Label Maeve, and the launch of his own Label "resort island" with his 4th album "resort island" in 2023 are the highlights to date.
"love algorithm," the first singles title pulls us into the rabbit hole of social media. Love and algorithm—can they even go together? In this deep house track isolée embraces the unpredictable. The slacker who takes things at his own pace. He leisurely lets some vocal debris wail through the track, and fans might recognise a Kerri Chandler vibe in the background textures, maybe more obvious in the stripped down B side “3rd places dub” version.
"OMG so random" seems oldscool, not boosting the tempo. Though not being "fast", this track is pushing and powerful. It’s classy dub sounds and textures put up against some scratchy, seemingly exotic, flute-like instru-ments make this track less obvious to categories than it might seem at first. It marries the reflection of a con-templative tune with the quality to be a dance track.
On „chopstick!", the third and final single, the bass line dominates, too. isolée rediscovered one of his analog 80s Roland synthesizers, the MKS30, which creates that distinctive thudding sound. This track picks up the pace the most.

2023年に4th アルバム「Resort Island」とシングル「Rumour」をリリースしてスタートした〈Resort Island〉からそれ以来となる待望のニューシングルです。先行で公開されていたA2の「Love Algorithm」の愛とアルゴリズムはEPの命題的でもあり、綿密な組み立てと、予測不可能な要素を両立させたisoléeらしいダンスニュージックの冒険。「OMG so random」「love algorithm (3rd paces dub」と続く４曲で構成されたEP。 (サイトウ)
