The debut from Montreal’s Gayance is an all-too-short romp through the years by a DJ who gladly wears her influences on her sleeve. The Polaris Prize-shortlisted album contains  raucous traces of international influence, from Haitian gospel music to jazz-funk and the blues-inflected title track. Gayance masterfully blends together the stitches of evidence from a year of playing her fusion beats all over the globe.
