escape: just escape

Glasgow-based Escape presents his debut EP, a poignant brew of delicately treated vocals, swooning strings, and gut-wrenching melodicism that astutely straddles the bridge between pop and underground dance music. "Just Escape" drifts atop a glacial bed with softly shifting strings punctuated by Escape's haunting croon; "Without You" blooms behind sportive synth work and jutting vocals underpinned by a vibrant 4/4 groove. Justin Martin subtly permeates "Just Escape" with some nifty sampling and spotlights a vocal reprise impelled by a punchy low-end. Jacques Greene weighs in with a prodigious take on the title-track that churns and swells throughout its extended duration.
