Review: Brooklyn trio Archie Pelago has always been one of Mister Saturday Night's more intriguing acts, with a sound that expertly blends live playing (trumpet, cello, sax), with analogue and digital electronics. While it would be incorrect to say that their tunes - think jazz, disco, Latin, soul, funk and house melded together - ape the work of Arthur Russell and Dinosaur L, but they're certainly in a similar ballpark. This latest single for Harkin and Carter's lauded imprint is another impressive outing. Choose between the Konk-meets-Floating Points-in-Brazil warmth of "Clammy Customer", and "Madame Suede Nightshade", a choppier and chunkier house excursion that makes great use of heavily edited samples, flowery chords and darting chords. Excellent stuff, as always.

Review: Considering they are only a year into their releasing life, Archie Pelago sound like a full-bodied outfit that have been in the game for years. Surfacing on the equally fledgling Mister Saturday Night imprint, this three track EP moves between warm, dancing-friendly stomp and dislocated ambience, all rendered through a canny sampling, treatment, but most importantly playing of organic instrumentation. Sax, cello and trumpet work their way into crackly beats, finding the most tangible groove on "Brown Oxford" thanks to a crisp double bass but in more esoteric climes on "Alice". "Frederyk Swerl" spreads itself with an elongated excursion into shapeless flutters and scribbles of jazzed-out expressions that suit the talents of the three-piece perfectly.
