Clarity At Juno Download

Review: A very promising young artist who made his name on Med School's "New Blood 011" compilation last year, Clarity brings us another high profile release, this time on D Bridge's Exit imprint. Believe the hype here as this is one wunderkind who is well worth checking out; after a long, tense, cinematic intro of various white noise and gritty Burial-like SFX, "Fractured" builds into the main part via a series of heavy thumps with an acerbic bite. Dark and deep, this is Exit at its best. Accompanying cut "Off The Cuff" is another stunner with hollow, clip-clop beats, a stern, groaning bassline and plenty of menace in the subs. Excellent stuff - check this out.

Review: Young Cornish talent Clarity already has a number of releases under his belt - most notably releases on Med School's New Blood 011 and 2012 follow up album Blood Pressure. Here he turns his talents to Horizons with a couple of super strong releases, which further carve out his career in the D&B world. "Parallels" is dominated by crisp, taught breaks, tense SFX and booming bass with atmospheric warps, hisses and sweeps. The accompanying "Fractionate" is a more meditative cut with white noise crackling, a cooing vocal, warm, undulating bass and a pervasive melancholy. Definitely worth checking.
