A decade on from The Knife's dissolution (fans still haven't fully got over it), Swedish outlier Olof Dreijer is back with a debut solo album that feels long overdue. Loud Bloom is typically unconventional dance music made to feel utterly instinctive. Chicago house structures and classic drum machine hits get remoulded into dazzling new forms without ever losing their dancefloor clout. The collaborators tell their own story: South African MC Toya DeLazy delivers bars in Zulu and English on 'Makwande,' Colombian MC and percussionist Diva Cruz ignites 'Acuyuye' and Sudanese Cairo-based singer MaMan brings a sweetly pop-tinted Arabic vocal to lead single 'Echoed Dafnino.' Dreijer's politics and his musical pleasures are inseparable here, and the music is richer for it.
