Native Transmissions hails from Birmingham and describes his sound as "lo-fi, house and anything in-between". We're definitely at the lo-fi end of that spectrum here, as he serves up five numbered mid/downtempo jams that range from the dusty, looping and Balearic-tinged (see 'Palette 01' with its spoken "there's nothing like a Rhodes" vocal sample and the lightly chipmunk'd 'Palette 03') to the more overtly jazz-leaning (see 'Palette 02' and, most especially, the ivory-sprinkled 'Palette 05'). The mood throughout is introspective, at times verging on melancholy, so club play is probably out of the question, but the EP as a whole makes for a pleasing and rewarding (home) listen.
