bavaria is john tejada and kimi recor. while well take a dive is the first for the duos newly cemented partnership they have appeared as guests on each others releases for nearly a decade. the duo decided to exclude any extraneous instrumentation so that tejada could focus solely on his modular synth programming while recor took on the role to provide that all-too-vital human element by way of her silky vocal delivery. in theory well take a dive might sound like an exercise in minimalism, which couldnt be further from the truth. the album highlights the duos deftness in getting maximal use from their instruments of choice while creating a superb darkly-hued electronic pop album that showcases its own unique strain of affecting tension and restraint.
