Released almost exactly a year after Hinterland, Lorenz Brunner's third Recondite album also follows a trio of 2014 12" releases for Innervisions, Dystopian, and Hotflush. None of those tracks appears on this Innervisions title, which -- setting a mood quite different from that of Brunner's previous album -- sports a close-up of a dog that appears to be both fearsome and fearful. Much like Hinterland, however, Iffy is a touch gentler and more downcast than Brunner's 12" output. It too can be classified as melodic home-listening techno that's for dreamers more than it is for dancers. Overall, the album's tracks aren't as distinctive, but they're all meticulously crafted and reward headphone listening with an abundance of subtle details. Sleepier low-key tracks like "Tame" and "Steady" may fail to stimulate, but they serve a purpose by setting up probing highlights "Garbo" and "Glint," the latter of which is a somber glide like no other Recondite track. When it comes to coaxing plangent tones from gear, Brunner remains just as proficient as Lawrence and Pantha du Prince.
