I’m a massive fan of music across the board, and I always like finding artists that bend the boundaries of multiple genres. One such artist is Oxford-based he didn’t – it’s quite hard to characterise the songs on (sic) EP by genre, but it’s worth checking out if you like your music on the more lo-fi end of the experimental spectrum. Why not try it and see what you think?

The EP opens up with the largely guitar-based Trouble Every Day (Beatrice Dalle Version). The song starts out sounding very mellow, with a pretty clean guitar melody repeated over and over again for the first part of the song. This melody changes slightly, before suddenly turning into a heavy and distorted riff towards the end, adding in more instruments. It’s a really interesting piece of work, especially in terms of the dynamics.

Diversion, earth is another song that starts out slowly, with some backing effects that make it all sound very atmospheric. The distorted effect slowly increases, becoming louder and louder as the music progresses. You’re constantly left waiting for a drop, as the tension is raised up, before the music suddenly drops off at the end.

Econowives (Praise be! version) is the last track on this intriguing EP, sounding almost like a culmination of the previous two tracks. The percussion and bass are present from the start here, as a fuzzy electric guitar melody runs against them. There’s actually something quite relaxing about the music as a whole, even though it is fairly distorted.

It’s always good to hear an artist doing something a little different, which he didn’t certainly is! (sic) EP won’t be for everyone, but those who like their experimental drone music might get a kick out of it.
