The droning synthesizers, breathy vocals and everything else thrown in on <em>1|11<\/em> revolves around the central intention of creating a cool and airy sensuality. This isn\u2019t an easy feat to achieve, especially when you\u2019re dealing purely with electronic music but tracks like <em>Her<\/em> &#8211; the albums most graceful mood-setter \u2013 stand as proof of <strong>The Code<\/strong>\u2019s knack for stepping up to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The attention to detail and unconventionality of the duo\u2019s production takes only a minute into the album to uncover itself. <strong>The Code<\/strong> allow their cloud of mellow strings and hazy synthesizers to occasionally be disrupted by an icy stab of bass or a sudden stutter of beats, taking the greatest care to prevent a track from sounding repetitive.<\/p>\n<p><em>1|11<\/em> stands as a solid debut effort. It\u2019s hard to know whether <strong>The Code<\/strong> will continue with this spaced out R&amp;B vibe or further their experimentation on their next project and it hardly matters; what matters is right now. And right now, I want to listen to <em>1|11<\/em> again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Track:<\/strong> <em>Her<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Track List<\/strong><br \/>\n01.
