Review: Sitting somewhere between Brandt Brauer Frick and Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Brooklyn live-minded trio Archie Pelago have yet to drop a record that doesn't take generic boundaries and burn them down to the ground. Powered by rainbow shades of jazz, sharp craggy spikes of techno and sparkling flurries of lush electronica, this EP is their most adventurous to date. At over 30 minutes and five tracks, it's also their most generous. Vibe-wise the title track sounds like Harold Faltermeyer getting remixed by Aphex Twin while "Neighborhood Mephisto" continues the 160 tempo with an organic, string and horn heavy emphasis. Elsewhere we get spiritualised by the mournful cries on "Saturn V", we're KO'd by deep sax wheezes on "D's Diamonds" and experience the band's perspective on Detroit's legacy on "Chilly". Beautiful.

Review: After a heartfelt debut on Mister Saturday Night, Archie Pelago return with further adventures in instrumentation and modern beats, this time for Brighton's Well Rounded posse. "Subway Gothic" starts off in breezy tones, feeding snatches of saxophone, guitar, vocal and more into a dextrous beat pattern and smoothing it out with a melodic warmth, but there's surprises to be had, not least in the orchestral squall of the breakdown and the percussive intensity of the drop. "Ladymarkers" is a more subdued affair, riding a slow, broken house beat and letting those fragments of real-world musicality nip and dart around the groove with a free-flowing, jazz informed energy.
