TOUCH 018EP
|
The Black Bones story is born out of a shared obsession for crate-digging, collecting, and the playing of weird and wonderful music. Their releases so far have manifested in a highly-sought series of seven psychedelic disco 12"s -- picking up numerous "Record of the Week" plaudits on the way. This considered curation and skill for pulling together far-flung sounds fully informs their first original material. These four bold and adventurous club cuts are a thrilling mix of straight-up house sounds, new beat, industrial, dub, sleaze and all the other good shit that comes with low-lighting and a heavy sound system. Kicking off with the full throttle 120 bpm of "ABTS" -- the duo take you straight to the 'floor with one of the wildest rides in some time. "Denied" pulls you into darker territory -- chest-pummeling bass, ominous high-pitched warnings, and a chuggy acid throwdown finds you once again lost in that 5am dancefloor fog. Over on the flip and "Punghi" combines a hypnotic groove, dubbed-out FX, percussion, and a tripped-out Eastern breakdown. One for the more adventurous DJs and dancefloor. The EP is closed by "Gabi" which sounds like minimal gone maximal with an insane industrial switch-up. Enough words! As always, Black Bones let the music do the talking and this ambitious debut can quickly find itself shelved alongside the records that have fueled their lifelong obsession.
