The debut full-length from Toronto trio Keys N Krates, Cura finds the group taking steps away from their early bass-heavy sound and experimenting with atmosphere and soul. Without relying too heavily on big builds and bigger drops, Keys N Krates are free from a tired niche and present bright moods, sparkling textures, and a mature cool that bodes well for artistic evolution. They haven't completely abandoned bass-heavy stomp: tracks like "Inicio" and "My Night" retain that beefy dub heft, simply balanced with the softer sides explored on the rest of the album. Sample-filled instrumentals like "Do What U Do" and "Something Wonderful" shimmer with disco-friendly buoyancy, while highlight "Glitter" does just that, sparkling with an expansive joy elevated by New Orleans R&B singer Ambre Perkins. Tory Lanez lends his smooth vocals to the irresistible "Music to My Ears," while Ouici reunites with the threesome for the hypnotically oddball "Flute Loop," an elastic trap jam that sounds like Skrillex gone wild with a child's plastic recorder. Cura is a cohesive and brisk listen -- more ideal for a chillout lounge session or comedown after a night spent at a sweat-soaked club -- that demonstrates growth in an exciting forward direction.
