:___[release_notes]_______________________________________:
Klaus's floaty, ambient-leaning approach to the
post-dubstep fallout has already seen him earn favourable
comparisons to Mount Kimbie and Airhead, and now he
arrives with an EP on R&S set to secure his place at the
top table. Tusk is defiantly introspective and
experimental throughout, the title track squeezing some of
the spindly spirit of Balil and The Black Dog's precious
90s IDM into a pinched steppers' template, while 'Fens'
sounds like a dream hook-up between James Blake, Philip
Jeck and Pole: a pocket symphony of static fizz, crackle,
clipped drum edits and mounting subs. Klaus's South London
DNA comes to the fore on 'Cypher', an avant-dubstep riddim
suspended in frozen space, buffeted by a mellow yet
malevolent wind of digital FX. Klaus avoids the common
trap of using a 4-track EP as an excuse to show off a
range of styles; instead he takes the opportunity to
refine and nail down his own unique sonic identity and
carefully, patiently explicating it across the four
tracks. One to watch for sure.
P.S. The noise, cracks, and pops are supposed to be there.
