_________________________________________
Welcome to the first EP on Constant State from Syloema the Vinse. For those of you expecting a similar outing to the acclaimed, searing label debut by Al Gobi, think again – the only thing the two releases have in common is a commendable commitment to quality. The only thing that is constant is change.

Throughout these four tracks, rhythms, ideas and melodies come into frame like sketches gradually building, taking fuller form to create something of staggering beauty. Fractured fragments of songs are stitched together as you listen, creating a uniquely dense and beautiful musical fabric…

Hinterkaifeck is first up. The palette, though electronic, sounds almost rural – like the sort of music robots might make if they developed independent thought and a fondness for camp fires. Lazy, lolloping loops seem to build themselves up to the dash for that fourth beat, taking us with them. All the while, these simple, minimalist, melodic flights of fancy are tethered by a bass that roots the whole thing in an earthbound, bucolic beauty.

But, Bolides is next, and does a very good impression of Jazzanova live remixing a Forest Swords cover of a Prince tune. If that description should leave you in any doubt, it’s as good as it sounds. 

This is followed by Caraoke, which boasts beats almost falling over themselves to escape the mesmerising synth line. The beautiful, hip-hop production flourishes almost causally tossed aside and left to litter the highway of this track like glittering cat’s eyes of inspiration, still light the way even after the synth washes have wiped the palette clean to allow something altogether more complex to take over. It’s invention on a Deadalus scale.

Last up is Royer-al, a haunting ghost story of a song. Like field recordings given shape by precision beats and gently nudged into position by keyboard sounds that, while too beautifully engaging to be truly soporific, still lull with consummate ease, push-pulling us perfectly into submission – like a perpetual motion machine that you wish really would stay perpetual.

In a constant state of flux.

STAY PERPETUAL
