prox ep is a half-hour sampler of electronic experimentalism. it
finds ghostly migrating into territory normally associated with
labels like the now-defunct neo ouija and soon-to-be-retired
merck.
detroit underground's kero drapes swizzlestick synths over a
grinding lope in "aftarileyshit" while spenza's "dia" crackles
with classic idm throb.
miami-based merck's well-represented by lackluster and tim koch,
with the former's "easy does it" a churchified exercise in
billowing euphoria and the latter's "ik zak fout" a dreamy slice
of vocal-laced elegance that may remind some listeners of helios.
only edit's "4 am in 4 parts" disappoints by embracing a
headache-inducing, seizure-gripped convulsiveness that wears out
its welcome quickly.
despite the lapse, the ep remain solid addition to ghostly's
eclectic digital series.
