Review: Spanish bass hero A2C is back with a one-track short sharp shock, Sound Boy, following a recent compilation EP. Keeping us on our toes this new track will grab you by the short and curlies and have you dancing on speaker stacks for the next month or so until his next installment arrives. Having said that this song is uncharacteristically mellow for A2C - with a gorgeous, lilting guitar strum evoking thoughts of balmy sunsets whilst a headnodding bassline gently chugs away underneath. Mellow vibes aplenty!
Review: Hopefully the people from the Trading Standards office never catch up with Blondes, because the US duo's latest effort could hardly be classified as an EP. Instead, they unleash a 50-minute long track, available on cassette and now digitally. As befits its length, "Reins" is an epic, sprawling affair. Starting with dense, abstract percussion and waves of sound, it leads into clattering rhythms, dense claps and then an eerie, atmospheric synth scape. That only covers the first ten minutes; for the remainder of the track, the pair then veer into Aphex-like melodies, tribal drums, discordant techno and finally finish off with an eerie ambient outro.
