The Boluminski Highway is the main land transportation route on the island of New Ireland in Papua New Guinea, as per Wikipedia description. A variation of its name is also the title for Body Habitat's new album that came out just a few days ago. The idyllic, palm-filled cover art would suggest a mellow downtempo record, but instead we're getting a tropical drum 'n' ambient project that has its chill, sometimes ritual-drone moments, while remaining spray-painted with UK bass-like experiments throughout. It's an unusual album that needs you to be in a specific mood to fully appreciate, but when it hits, it feels very atmospheric.
The album is available for free here. Stream down below.
