Review: Two years on from the release of his debut album, Dario Rojo Guerra, aka Natureboy Flako, is back with a new six-song EP on Five Easy Pieces. This self-titled collection of music is culled from over 200 recording sessions since Guerra moved from London to Berlin in late 2015. It's the first work that unites the artistic identity of Flako with that of the Natureboy persona at the heart of his debut album. Moving away from the live instrumentation of his debut LP, it's the most electronic-sounding record he's made, using old analogue equipment as well as new digital instruments. Where previous songs relied on overdubs, most of these songs were recorded in one take, making it his most live record to date. The six-song EP sees Guerra searching for musical balance: both sides of the record offer contrasting energies, with the A-side featuring some of the heaviest tracks he's made. The cinematic B-side is made up of more reflective compositions. However, both are equally propulsive, with driving arpeggios forming the backbone of much of the EP.
