Review: Laval follow up last year's Cold Hearts album on P?r Grindvik's Stockholm Ltd label with this killer EP. Despite being named after a desert, "Sahara" is an ice cold stepper, its frosty synths and spiky rhythms ushering in a gurgling acid line that accompanies the track's soaring builds and drops. "Antechrist" follows a straighter approach, with tough drums underpinning the atmospheric hooks at the track's centre. It demonstrates that the French pair is adept at managing the feat of balancing depth with force. The title track goes down a similar route, with rolling beats underpinning wave upon wave of gentle, undulating melody lines - again a near perfect fusion of strength and musicality.
