The formalism of a full-length album looks strange on Victor Ferreira. Through his recorded work as Sun Glitters, he tends to stitch together a patchwork of collaborative singles, remixes, and short-form EPs. He's hopped from label to label, resting on whatever outfit seems to fit a particular release. A year ago, he put out a 7? on Lefse; now, his latest LP sees the light of day via Mush. While Scattered Into Light remains firmly in-brand for Ferreira, all honeyed samples and clattering beats, it's indicative that Sun Glitters works best when he's restless. Saturated with vaporous guest vocals from Italian singer Sara Cappai (one half of Diverting Duo), Scattered Into Light might be consistent to a flaw. It's light, pretty stuff that coasts at a pleasant tempo, rarely dropping into the danger or melancholy that Ferreira has been known to engineer on singles like Alone, a collaboration with Denmark's Sleep Party People. Cappai appears, for the most part, to pronounce each song's title repeatedly, adding little lyrical content to the gentle meshes around her. When the Train Comes, Soft Breeze, I You We... Know, Three Four Days, Closer to the Sun Watch, Lonely Trip Watch, Scattered Into Light, Only You Watch, And the Sun Goes Down, Feeling Young, Too Much to Lose (Acoustic Version)
