A1 - Into the Habit
A2 - Shading
B1 - Still So
B2 - The Motions

Carrier is the new project from Guy Brewer, the producer behind projects like Shifted, Covered in Sand and Alexander Lewis. Brewer has been responsible for some of the most confrontational dancefloor music of the past decade. Never one to linger though, he returns with a new sound, a new ethos and a new gamut of feeling and colour.

Throughout his career, Brewer has ducked and dived through the tangled web of classification, often unexpected yet always evasive. He is at his most deadly though at the inception of a new project. A futurist at heart, in the traditional sense, he relishes new beginnings.

The first release in an eponymous series under his new guise is his sharpest to date. Widescreen, immersive, driven by a new gait and less bloody-minded in his timing, he appears more at home and also more adventurous in his new garb. Across four gothic, stepping patterns he states his intent to explore the electronic music axis not as it was, but as it is.

Carrier’s experiments in rhythmic pressure continue with In Spectra, the second offering on his eponymous imprint following releases for FELT and The Trilogy Tapes. A triad of kinetic reductions from an unrivalled practitioner in angular minimalism.

In Spectra finds Guy Brewer magnifying the approach taken on Neither Curve Nor Edge, unthreading the micro-structures within to strip bare his process of reverse-engineered dance forms. His hyper-focus continues on sound and texture, but meshed tighter in tense atmospherics with fascinating results.

Coastal circles the lurch with steady poise, rallying with its faint hardcore momentum and muted dub reverberations. Wood Over Plastic scatters its disassembled rhythmic remains across warped zones of surreality, before closer Locus furrows inside a repurposed stepper amidst sharpened percussion and a creeping sub. Further proof of Carrier’s unique vision, In Spectra is a vital development along his open-ended sonic journey.

Carrier - Tender Spirits

Carrier presents Tender Spirits, the third turn on his eponymous series that explores his abstractions at its most sparse and cerebral.

Space maintains great purpose for Guy Brewer, having experimented with this previously for multiple drum-focused missives as Carrier. On his latest release, he treads deeper into the furthest regions of dub deconstruction, with Tender Spirits offering a serene path to the inbetween.

Across 8+ minutes, Light Candles, To Mark The Way moves towards the muted sublime; a gentle half time’d bliss that ebbs and floats across the enveloping mist. Slow Punctures gradually returns to dusk, eerily surveying the hollowed-out remains of its dub architecture with an off-kilter lurch. Carpathian echoes further in stark reduction, a weightless atonal zone anchored by the abstracted pressure suspended within.

Tender Spirits tracks Carrier at exciting new parallels, unfurling his most ascendant and capacious music to date.
