I concur, overall. Engaging piece o' work.

I has a retro sound that reminds me of early, pre "uns! uns! uns!" Kraftwerk, and Roger Powell's "Airpocket". I like it a lot. And then I listened to two more albums of his/theirs on Spotify and thought "this is the same outfit? They are going for a new sound now".

Skyjack - Hunter (2019)

This second album from South African-Swiss cooperative Skyjack strikes a smart balance between ideation and instinct.
...
[they] are well-practiced in the art of gleeful experimentation. And their time together, touring annually in either South Africa or Europe for a number of years, has made each of these men better attuned to what makes the others tick.
...
How Skyjack hasn't attracted broader notice remains something of a mystery.
