"Civis Jams" is a bubbling work of slumbering structures and calm, powerful songs. The vocals stick to the edges of the mixes, giving them an intimate yet cryptic sound. This feeling is reinforced by Darkstar's nocturnal production of drums and synths. Highlights include the tracks "Wolf" in the best Mount Kimbie style of the "Cold Spring Fault Less Youth" phase and "Jam", a potential peaktime banger, which the Darkstar interprets gently and with the sharpness of a Jai Paul. After their hyperdub debut "North" (2010) and the two Warp successors "News From Nowhere" (2013) and "Foam Island" (2015), Darkstar have created an album with terrific underwater night songs with "Civic Jams".
