ctrls: routing

Routing is Ctrls ninth solo EP. "The Shortest Path" starts with flitting high-end precision accompanied by a gracefully deviating tone. It takes on new life with a sparse and ultra-synthetic groove. "Rush Hour" is gripped by an acute yet almost-imagined drone that builds intensity before going all in. The oddball break takes it down and whips around to shuddering effect. "Crash" is a full-scale collision: strange and discordant percussive details, a fierce bass teased by semi-conscious accents. "Highway" comes in on a half-step, straightening up with a muted klaxon crescendo into hypnotic transit. Routing includes two staggering, driving locked grooves.
