Vril - Untitled [Giegling]

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect. 

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.

Transmitting To Heaven

Solitary Dancer - Transmitting To Heaven [GRD005]

10th November sees Curle Recordings favourites Hiver return to the Belgian label for the release of their latest EP, entitled ‘Air Castles’. 

Since making their debut on the imprint in 2013 with ‘Blue Aconite’, the Italian duo has since released two more EPs on Curle; ‘Same Mistake Twice’ in 2015 and ‘Soundescence’ last year. Since the release of the latter mentioned EP, Hiver have been busy behind the booth, performing in the UK, China, Germany, Holland and, of course, in Italy, where they still hold a residency at DUDE Club. 

Kicking off the EP is ‘Elipse’, a stunning four-minute track that nods to avant-garde artists such as Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS alias or Brian Eno, as the pair gradually weaves several layers of shining, atmospheric tones before slowly fading into the background.

Title-named track ‘Air Castles’ follows, with the tight selection of drums combined with the ebb and flow of soaring synths creating a melodic style of techno that has become synonymous with their name.

Next is ‘Aleutine’, a song that similarly blends Hiver’s characteristically ethereal, hazy synths alongside more vibrant analogue bleeps to great effect. These delicate synths are later given the chance to gleam as the track comes to a close. 

Closing this excellent four-track EP is deep-groover ‘Leisure’, seeing Hiver up the tempo through their clever use of percussive elements, sharp synths and headstrong drums.

‘Air Castles’ EP is available on November 10th on 12” and digitally.
