Review:
First introduced to Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label by Ghostpoet, Southampton's Gang Colours makes a confident and impressive debut with this effervescent EP. Weird and woozy textures and soundscapes are the order of the day here, backed with minimal tech-step beats that shiver and crackle in the style of Burial and Mount Kimbie. The incredibly vivid "Village & City" rides a slow, snapping garage beat amongst a wave of chorus-effected notes, while "Fireworks In Pockets" brilliantly uses a cappella cuts over the rising/descending note patterns. Best of the bunch though is "Dance Around The Subject" which builds from a stuttering start into a triplets-accented, multi-octave beauty that's wonderfully hazy and delirious. A debut to definitely get involved with.
