Cousin Carl resurfaces to bring you the sonically hypnotic EP of talented newcomer Ordinateur. Three tracks bless the ears with buttery low ends, intimate sampling, all adorned with a summer warmth that embraces the listener.
The opening number, 'Dieout' is a study in slow-motion: a brooding, shimmering drum section that's perfectly underpinned by a rumbling bass drone. A sun-kissed pad floats without care across the track, leading our ears to the sublime.
Following up is the intimate and affectionate 'Wondered A', leading the ear through a mediterranean olive grove dappled in shade. A calming rhythm section snuggles up nicely in the listeners mind whilst dozy-dusty melodic flourishes meander across the track's otherworldly soundscape.
Finally, Ordinateur gets us on our feet with the joyous 'Love Filter'. Detuned pads flow through the stereo field, subtly changing tone as they do so, whilst a driving groove propels the listener into a state of glorious movement. As the track progresses, Ordinatuer's signature bass drone seasons the track to perfect imperfection.
This EP is one that moves tastefully from energetic, to introspective. Energetic to celebrate the warmth of these summer months, and introspective to allow the listener to soak up the evening sunlight that flows so freely from this release.
