shlomi aber: under two worlds

Shlomi Aber's first outing for Figure sees the now Barcelona-based artist drawing on his many influences to deliver a tastefully rounded three-tracker. "Under Two Worlds" grooves subtly along a funky acid riff, while anthemic synths longingly recall bygone moments of grandeur. Paced only at half-time and drenched in dubby reverb, the weighing beats of "Rumbles" engage with delicately shaped sounds for some seriously spaced-out head nods. "Matrix" is a tightly woven mesh of machinery insides, which Aber nevertheless manages to channel into a fairly straight- forward kinetic energy.
