Recordings
Classical Curves Jam City's debut album, Classical Curves, was released in 2012 to positive reception. Sonically, the album featured glossy, alien-sounding post-dubstep and club music and established his reputation for creating instrumentals from club music tropes. Dream a Garden Latham's follow-up album, Dream a Garden, was released in 2015. Inspired by the 2011 England riots and the work of bell hooks, the album further developed the sociopolitical conscience of his debut, engaging particularly with the effects of neoliberalism. Resident Advisor referred to it as vibrant, distorted, kaleidoscopic, and self-assured. Dan Barrow, writing for Tribune, described it as both dream-like and anti-dream, realistic and psychedelic, and argues that it showcases the way politics and music are connected "at every level". Similarly, Joe Creely wrote for The Line of Best Fit that Pillowland "interrogate[d] escapism while it embraced it." EFM In 2023, EFM was released, with more of a club-centered focus, inspired by his experience at Liquid and Envy. Pitchfork referred to it as "an effervescent blend of rattling garage, glitzy disco, and thumping house," The Line of Best Fit referred to it as "unabashed giddy fun" in contrast to Dream a Garden's more serious nature, and The Quietus described it as unified and straightforward, "an upbeat musical Blade Runner." ==Work with others==
