Review: Sometime Beats of No Nation and Bobby Donny contributor Scissorwork has been rather quiet of late, with this three-tracker on Artesian Sounds marking his first full EP in over two years. The Bristol-based producer hits the ground running with the simply gorgeous 'A Hundred Years', a musically rich and hard-to-pigeonhole fusion of attractive synth-pop sounds, laidback post deep-house grooves and glassy-eyed vocals, before doffing a cap to the skewed, sub-heavy post-dubstep sounds of his home city on the even more difficult to categorise wonkiness of 'Flourishes'. Finally, he gleefully skips towards the dancefloor on 'Identity Crisis', a constantly evolving bounce through electro/deep house/two-step garage fusion that may well be the EP's standout moment.
