I've been avoiding listening to Deep Code for a few weeks because I didn't remember what it sounded like and was afraid it would be another mediocre release. Too many of those lately.
There is one word that encompasses the entirety of this album: peace. If there would be a second word it would be tranquillity.
Deep Code is minimalist, so much so that you may consider silence an instrument. The album does as much with its spare notes as it does with the silence that fills the void.
While there are a few songs that contain beats and are less minimal in approach, the album truly shines when its just a piano, a bit of reverb and silence. It's here that the album encourages reflection. It's in the silence where the listener is invited to enter into a meditative state.
Saso pleasantly surprised me with Deep Code. This will easily hit my turntable again in the near future. Listening to this today feels like one of the late Bob Ross' happy little accidents.
