Available February 12th, 2008, the third major release from Supreme Beings of Leisure, "11i" maintains the bands' previously established sultry, low key sound. In an interesting move, the album follows the chronological path of the day, opening with the track "The Light" and closing with "Lay Me Down." The rich layered vocals of songwriter Geri Soriano-Lightwood are well complimented by the electronic compositions of instrumentalist Ramin Sakurai.
As a group generally classified as being trip-hop, the band stays true to the genre with these eleven chill-out, electronic, moody songs. Unfortunately, the low key seductive quality of the songs can be lost after listening to a few tracks, as they begin to blend in with each other. Fans of the genre will enjoy the album, however the casual listener should stick to a few tracks at a time.
Stand out tracks: "This World" and "Angelhead."
