Semi Precious is the brainchild of Southeast London musician Guy Baron, who released a well-received self-titled debut EP last year. He’s now following that up with When We Talk, a new collaboration with acclaimed producer Matthew Herbert that aims at creating short bedroom pop vignettes that explore the dreamier, more pop-oriented side of electronic music.
The title track, interestingly enough, has been reworked by electronic producer Aviram Barath, best known as Bunki. Extended and transformed into a beautiful, contemplative little piece, its idle melody lightly punctuated by beats, with subtle dub influences added during the latter half. it’s well worth a listen.
When We Talk is out now, and can be bought via Rough Trade and Bandcamp.
