Matt Hillier's Ishq project reaches a kind of peak warmth on Lyght, wrapping deep, slowly breathing pads in gentle harmonic overtones that feel genuinely sun-saturated rather than cold or cosmic. The album sits firmly in the positive psybient space Ishq helped define, with textures that bloom and recede like something growing. Tones sustain long enough to lose their edges, making the transitions between tracks almost imperceptible. Let it run for a while and the room starts to feel a little sun-saturated too.
