"I love watching bodies of water. Ripples in the swan’s wake make the image of the willow above shimmer and play; the swirl of the algae reveals the complexity of these currents; even crashing waves on the coast begin with a single drop, if you listen closely. Last year’s Sinking was all about the action, the warp and weft, the striated emerging from the smooth emerging from the striated, and so on. It was a toil, well aware of its own futility. With this album I wanted to stop squeezing the life out of the moment, but still to capture its richness. In more direct terms, I avoided meticulous editing and instead built up a hodgepodge of custom sequencing software over the course of about 18 months, recording things as I went. These tracks all came out rather effortlessly from a damp and dreary two-week span in the height of summer, after which the systems that created them collapsed into an overwrought mess."

Bell Curve with DJ Glowworm - 12 October 2024

How U Feel transposes a fresh sprouting of highly strung self-worth into four melodically vivid and hard-hitting jungle tracks. Through surging synth lines, rolling bass grooves, RnB vocal sampling and chrome-plated breaks, this EP is an ode to the powers of hyper-romanticism and melancholic devotion, and inward & outward emotional availability as their guiding force.

The EP begins with “Warm Wash”, kicking off with a steady dub reggae-inspired bassline groove, breakbeat-piano euphoria and a classic vocal sample. “Sacrificial” continues the dub influence with flutters of echoed vocal harmonies and acidic, airy synthesis. The title track takes the mood into a darker territory with a slow burner of retro-futuristic synthesis, dancehall-based breakbeat riddims, and a piercing vocal hook. “B4DB1DNESS (Vocal Mix)” brings forth an anthemic amen breaks dub of Tinashe’s “None of My Business”, prompting both tears and elation in the peak time. Closing out the EP is a remix of “Sacrificial” by Kultiv, which switches up the original mix with wobbling basslines and nocturnal junglist ambience.
