For the first release of the new decade Subaltern Records introduce LA-based
Oxóssi
who has conjured a captivatingly sinister sonic palette for his debut EP on the label. A scorching 8-bar intro catapults you straight into "Sama", the first track of the release, where abandoned-jungle-ruins atmospheres meet threatening wooden flutes and weighty wobs -- Oxóssi is not messing about. The narration proceeds with a melody sung by a penetrating laser-beam-like synth, which adds a space layer to this organic banger, getting more and more detuned throughout the track while kickstarting a call-and-answer march between the flute and synth-wob melodies. An alluring pad harmony and a hidden inspirational message from the artist introduce the fascinatingly titled "Saut Dans Le Vide", a masterful arrangement of unrelenting piano chords, subtle choir stabs, dreamy flute leads, and compellingly staggering drums. Elements keep artfully alternating throughout this convoluted composition which arouses a pensive, melancholy-nuanced hopefulness. It's time to get glitchy here, as "Undead" makes its entrance. Shimmering melodies rain down in a glittery shower of eerie purple confetti, surrounded by rattling white noise strikes, and playful-yet-mighty bass hits. As the story evolves, an 8-bit synth lead briefly takes us to a post-apocalyptic landscape before we momentarily wake up from this psychedelic daydream, just in time to take a breath and dive back in for round two.
