annie hall: statics

After more than a decade of productions on labels such as Detroit Underground and CPU, Annie Hall arrives on MUSAR for Statics EP, a record rich in texture and understated grooves. "Linium" seduces listeners with a spacious drum pattern. Mattheis maintains this understated feel, adding a kick to his remix of "Lavandula". The original follows, erupting into a distorted bassline. On "Silene", stuttering, frenetic drums interweave with Hall's melancholy keys before ending with "Santolina", taking each element and slowing it down. Though indebted to electro and IDM, Hall's music is no throwback, looking forward and moving dancefloors in unexpected ways.
