“Terms & Conditions’ from Melbourne’s Chet Faker gets the Nic Jaar treatment. It’s a typically atmospheric rework from Jaar for the first half, an exercise in ambiance and nuanced melody. Then, a beat rises and persists changing the track’s M.O. to something much more hypnotic, a vocodered vocal sample repeating “It’s not the money” appears and the track pivots into a three passages of varying speed, sound morphing in and out of what came before ending with a pinging synth melody. So, not phoned in then.
