Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, the upstart producer Langwidj has been coming correct with a smattering of glitch-hop and splayed-out bass music for the last few years. Continuing their dovetailed combination of happy accidents, artifacts, and sculpted synthesis, the latest plate of Langwidj tracks balance weight and impact with abundant compositional risk. As a result, The Rust is incredibly excited to host the release of their latest EP; Escape Plan.

Fusing an abundance of textures with off-kilter arrangements, Escape Plan spans a tight grouping of styles, touching on half-time, neuro, and timeless downtempo motifs. Each of the three tracks is an entirely self-contained experience, giving listeners an expansive, topical taste of each particular lane. Juggling effusive melodies, blistering low-end, and rambunctious rhythms that stretch from an earnest swing to a vicious breakdown, Escape Plan is a precision EP designed for discerning listeners, and is surely just a taste of future Langwidj developments.

Noctambulism is arguably the most grounded track on the EP, rooted in a lush, fictional jungle. It opens with a soundscape of birds and insects, recorded in various real-world locations and then drastically transformed, pitched, multiplied, and phase-shifted to create a surreal and uncanny environment.

This living mass becomes an autonomous space, a sonic ecosystem crossed by organic sound objects. A modified citation from the track Tui’s Garden (from the previous album Taihua) acts as an anchor, pitched downward, it functions like the memory of a living organism that has mutated.

At the heart of this sci-fi setting lies a subtle, continuous rhythmic motif, a fake maraca crafted from insect sounds — slowly leading into the second part. More structured and melodic, this section reintroduces DX7 pads and harmonic experiments derived from field recordings, forming a kind of immersive trance.

At the intersection of field recording, IDM, and synthwave, Noctambulism charts a slower path through the forest, just before the dance resumes in the next track.
