Alfa Mist 以第六張全長專輯《Roulette》回歸,這或許是他迄今為止結構最為雄心勃勃的作品。自2015年發行首張個人專輯《Nocturne》以來,這位來自東倫敦的音樂家便在英國爵士壇佔據了一席之地,既低調又充滿敬畏,將嘻哈的本能與調式爵士的基調完美融合。如今在《Roulette》中,他既隱藏了自我,又部分地從迷霧中重現,提出了一種微妙的社會批判,卻又隱藏在無言的敘事之中,從行為主義,再到人類力量的循環,無不觸及各種抽象的形而上學。演奏一如既往地流暢空靈,但節奏的變化比以往任何時候都更加劇烈,如同電影膠片的剪輯般突兀。 「循環」或「張力」進一步衝擊著歌曲形式的邊界。正如專輯名所示,也正如專輯本身,你永遠無法確定你的球會落在何處。
