atlas: solitude

Debut EP from Atlas - contemporary of Keysound family member Etch. The Solitude EP's title track has a pensive melodic tension broken only by skeletal drum flickers and sub gravity. It builds through layers of abstraction over four minutes towards a massive emotional apex. "On the Cusp" explores similar themes, using fragments of wistful dialog interwoven with skeletal drums. The EP concludes with "Alone In A Timespan", yet further taking the form & function to near collapse. Finally, it pulls back, returning to more familiar club dynamics with the dubby, bass-heavy rolling of "Calm".
