Thick honey sticky bass and powdered sugar synth lines open up “Last Room,” the opening track to II by Loveshadow. It’s their first full-length on Dark Entries Records, arriving two years after their self-titled debut on Amsterdam label Music From Memory. The duo’s Anya Dross and Izaak Schlossman write and produce irresistible slow-grooving disco jams that nod to electronic pop and R&B legends Sade, Kate Bush, and Ryuichi Sakamoto as much as more contemporary artists like Nite Jewel and Poolside. Easing from downtempo to midtempo and back, it’s sultry, transcendent, and seductive from cover to cover. In another era, they would’ve called this “baby-making music.” Instead, let’s call it the soundtrack to graceful love.
