lurka: partials/mach

Lurka continues his journey into sonic bat country, following his acclaimed Holding EP and his highly regarded remix of Clap! Clap!'s "Ashiko" (2014). "Partials" kicks off with Lurka's typical intrigue; pads swell as distant specters of percussion build into a hugely saturated kick alongside an architecture of syncopated hats and bit-crunching snares lock the angles and a shower of haunting bells falls. Dancehall for the witching hour. "Mach" delivers an equally holodeck soundscape. Drums swing in awkward alliance with dry wooden blocks and woozy binary language. Both tracks united in their skewed viewpoint and distinctive awkward funk.
