biome: black widow

Macabre Unit Vinyl drops its fourth press after the tearing double A-sider from Demon and DCullt back in November, and for this one highly acclaimed master of the dark arts Biome unleashes three slabs of soundsystem punishing construction. A trio of very different tracks again prove his ability to push the boundaries in a area often oversaturated with stale and unoriginal ideas. 'Black Widow' is a Youngsta favourite, led by hypnotic, rattling drums; tribal, hard hitting, and again showing Biome's versatility within the 140 bracket. Rips and growls leap out unexpectedly from the scuttling percussion, sucking you in to listen more intently. Certainly different, but definitely infectious. Straight bass roller. 'Quasar' creeps in tentatively; moody blips tease amongst a subterranean undercurrent. It swings into action, skippy, and high energy with spluttering electro stabs jutting out from a pulsating, bubbling low end. As it progresses it's shaken up by those infamous, twisted Biome edits. One for the skankers. 'Mystery' is a stripped back, minimal affair, deadly in its precision; spacious and menacing. Serious eyes down business, perfectly poised plodding low end, broken by mutant, contorted snarls
