phase: submerged metropolitan

Following his second album Alone in Time? Ø [Phase] continues his ongoing connection to Token with the Submerged Metropolitan EP. The title track enters with Burchett's own brand of unease; the lead is tense and discordant, moving over a bumpy, rolling kick. Brushing off-beat hats rush overhead and play delicately with this unease above the thunder. Ethereal swells and intense rhythmic play introduce "Fallen Columns", which delves into atonality with keys that add a controlled recklessness to the composition. "This Absent Mind" takes on a hypnotic, dubby form with a confidence that belies its complexity.
