Balearic Social takes the second installment in Tommy Awards' Sessions trilogy as it picks up where the first one left off: in a paradisiacal lope of bliss-out-with-your-chakras-out cosmic disco. Beginning with sonorous drones, elegant chimes, and distant shakers, Sessions II soon accrues a slow-motion disco chug that gets adorned with Holger Czukay-like minimalist bass punctuation and all sorts of woody and bell-toned percussion (or is that a distorted banjo?). Like a well-modulated prog-rock suite, Sessions II advances with a seamless logic, each of its seven movements both a self-contained sonic world and an elaboration of what's preceded it, as new instruments enter and old ones exit. Through the smooth transitions, the album's gentle euphoria never subsides, its cool-headed exploration and cinematic expansiveness never wane. Producing such a resplendent brand of escapist and soulful music is a natural gift you can't acquire from watching instructional videos or taking university courses. As the world becomes increasingly harsher, more consumed by corporate greed, and wracked by political and sectarian conflict, palliative music such as Sessions II becomes more essential to mental and physical health.
