New
release on boltfish from Cheju.
"Pachinko"
rattles a load of crazy metal balls at you whilst weaving
a magic song with a xylophone and a set of mystical eastern
chords that release a water rich neon haze into the sky.
The crispest of glitch static beats joins in, and adds an
air of shattering plastic memories to the mixture as the
melody drops into a hidden dark patch and a subby bassline
handles it from here on in. A lesson in effortless beauty,
awesome.
"Flipchart
psychology" unzips itself and splinters into a thousand
exact exact shapes as a 2001 synth stare takes you back
to the days of fuel powered space travel, as you look back
at yourself in the reflective material that your ion drive
personal spaceship is crafted from and plan the mission
to an unknown galaxy. This is atmopheric atmosphere to the
highest level, I love it. "Bellflowerroot" is
more of a monstrous twisting stagger through the pyramid
skyscrapers of a virgin metropolis. You sitt on the shoulders
of a terraforming droid out on the town with a bottle of
hydrated diesel in one hand and a perfectly formed gyroscope
in the other, its all that and THEN some. Sit back and soak
it in through your sponge feet. Soyperb.
"Cloud
garden" rounds off the ep. Ghostly and crystal clear
from the very start, the track washes over you like a runaway
hovercraft full to the brim with a heavy strobing bassline
and piano mumblings that just ooze quality. Squeaks and
rubberised peelings melt away to reveal the glistening spiral
shaped entity below, that somehow manages to communicate
with everything and anything in its vicinity with a simple
speech pattern of simpleness and checks to make sure its
all ok. Excellent.
Woh this release is good, Cheju has just torn up my mind
and stitched it carefully back together adding colours and
heightened memories throughout, this ep is outstanding in
my opinion, real real REAL class.
Do
not miss out on this one, Boltfish are now a label constantly
delivering quality musics, with each release being more
stunning than the last.
