Review: Jordon Saxton aka Viers follows recent Eps on high-profile labels like Turbo and Figure with this high-octane, energetic release that takes influence from a myriad of sources. "EVA00" is a frenetic electro roller led by glitchy, IDM percussion and a pulsating bass, with these elements providing the backing for dreamy synth lines. On "Douglas Descend", similar stop-start glitchy percussion provides the backing for wailing vocal samples and a steely, stepping rhythm, while "Innocence" is more stripped back, with jagged synths and a menacing, recoiling bass at its core. Changing tact for 'LSD', Saxton drops a visceral warehouse techno banger.
Review: Viers aka Jordon Saxton makes his debut on Let's Play House with this scintillating release. The title track is a pummelling, percussive techno workout. Underpinned by heavy kicks, it features a pitched down vocal sample that lends the arrangement a moody feeling. The feeling on "Dolphin Telephone" is radically different, with Saxton drawing on celebratory piano lines and screeching diva vocals to create a euphoric, uplifting vibe. Changing tact once again, he delivers an acid-led electro breaker in the form of "AFB", while he returns to a more celebratory mood on "By Your Side". Like "Telephone", it is led by uplifting piano lines and soulful vocal samples.
