about

Georgopoulos is superb with minutiae. Little gems reveal themselves in each meticulously recorded track. It feels somehow astral and earthly all at once.
›› Pitchfork

The spirit of the concept is dazzlingly portrayed ... the vintage sounds makes the music feel like an unconsummated vision of the future from the 20th century past.
›› Resident Advisor

It’s a beautiful, absorbing, enigmatic and unique record. As a stand-alone album, New Pleasures might just be Georgopoulos’ masterpiece. ‍
›› Electronic Sound "Best Albums of The Year"

Mercurial art-pop dotted with contrary pulses and unexpected detours.️ ★★★★
›› Mojo

Balearic analogue glory… the kind of album you'd hope Grace Jones was listening to padding around her Ibiza villa in 1983. Just try prying it from your earbuds this summer!
››  DJ Mag

Alexis Georgopoulos, the electronic musician who records as Arp, sets up a ping-ponging stereo mix of synthesizers to begin the instrumental “Eniko” before its contours emerge: a syncopated 4/4 beat, a hopping bass line, a plinky melody that’s answered by sliding synthesizer tones and programmed drum syncopations. For all the sonic and spatial diversions, the track holds its shape.
›› The New York Times

The album appears to be all about movement, and the standouts are perhaps those tracks that shake some significant leg.
›› Ban Ban Ton Ton

A vivid, deconstructed take on high-definition pop and ethereal psychedelia.
››  XLR8R
