“Last Thoughts” is exemplary of Richard Griffith’s consuming sound, which incorporates lush electronic production with jazz-infused tones. This lovely track comes via Griffith’s debut album, Percepts. The UK-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer impresses throughout, and on this track shows a serenely evolving melodic pull. Jazzy keys and backing acoustics coalesce around Griffith’s smooth vocals. Production-wise, I’m reminded fondly of Caribou, circa Andorra, especially when the vocals ascend around 01:36. There’s a lushly organic nature to this blend of electronic, pop, and jazz tones — resulting in a success that feels very audibly alive, like “Last Thoughts.”
