shift work: document ii

Electronic duo Shift Work, who have previously released on JD Twitch's Optimo, debut on Houndstooth with an EP developed from live jams on outboard analog gear. The lean, raw "Abandoned Hands" punctuates a relentless 4/4 kick and pattering percussion with an angular bassline and indecipherable vox. The fuller-bodied "SBFM" sets its modulating bassline at center-stage, draped in loose synths and topped with a deadpan vocal refrain. DVA Damas strip back "Abandoned Hands" further still with their remix, while Factory Floor remix "SBFM" with a typically subtle yet infectious building groove. Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy. Limited to 500 copies.
