ctrls: two worlds

Ctrls, who has released all of his records to date on Token, continues to meld turbo-charged rhythms with celestial synth-work on this ethereal two-tracker. "Two Worlds" gracefully builds elysian synth-soundscapes before glitched-up drum loops arrive at the opportune moment, stumbling alongside a simmering reduction of the opening section. The flipside ventures into harder territories, with thumping low-end and biting melodies showing a similar mix of timbres. "Onto Them" is laced with close-cut delays and groaning spring reverbs, adding a characteristic layer of roughness to Ctrls' precisely engineered production.
