BUY
Burning incense in an igloo somewhere far away and nomadic, with a scant but reliable food source. Eyes half closed, enjoying the internal gleam of two cups of tea, what else do you want? If so- why do you want it?
If you're accustomed to Joey Anderson, you know that his work throws you into deep purple oceans of beautifully crafted synthesised rhythms that is presently unheard anywhere else. These melodies are warm and thick and layered just right, with off-kilter highhat work being employed as a sign to pay attention to these rhythms, instead of an upper for the bass and synths. Your idea of straight-forward linear dance tracks is re-established in this EP, as it moves with the pace of a story, interested in the person as a feeling being instead of a thinking being. Anderson's powerful yet pleasantly quiet bass always gives his melodic composition extra impact. After a prolific 2014, this EP delivers fruitfully, his work continuously pushing macroscopic exploration of rhythm, all in a way that captures the elements that you want from these tracks.
