3rd of 3 EPs!
The process running through these 3 is interesting. Its clearly the same guy, using the same basic spare beats, the asymetrical structures, the spatial evolution, the stirred vocals, but finding slightly different places and feelings to evoke. Here, things are bit more human somehow, with some of the noises seeming far and frail, distorted, but as if by distance and loss than by digital means. Tell her Safe and I Only Know are both quietly heartbreaking, finding secret routes into hearts that are hard to track and hard to block. Even the closer, for all its minimal beeps and boops is earwormier than the rest of his work. Or maybe it just benefited from the setup from the other EPs. Either way, I'm much happier to have these as EPs instead of one album, each has its own personality, and I think the standout tracks would have been lost in the surges if I'd perceived them as part of an 11 track opus 4/5
