    Jacques Greene - Ready Jacques Greene - Ready
    Jacques Greene - Ready If you were worried that Jacques Greene was getting too poppy, rest assured. Stepping away from 2011's The Look and Another Girl, and much further from this year's radio-ready Concealer, Canada's foremost purveyor of vocal-y, garage-y goodness heads back to the clubs with his first record for 3024. Sure, there are girly vocals in "Ready," but they tinge rather than saturate. Matched as it is with fat, convulsing synths, the beat is also rather stomping. Most of all, however, it's the track's barely-relenting drive that will galvanise dance floors; just a brief breakdown provides relief from Greene's constant pushing.

    "Dakou" and "Prism" seem more in character. Recalling "Tell Me," the former is well-served by a rolling arp, cresting to a blissed-out peak, where feminine crooning and fairly vanilla 303 join the fray. Wielding fog-like vocal slivers with considerable skill, the latter is bolstered by a blobby-sounding low-end, and more bright synthesis. Despite strongly resembling his previous tracks, these final two cuts are a healthy reminder that Greene's talents lay in pop and club hybrids. But as "Ready" shows, he's not too bad at simply moving feet, either.
