Lithe & NORA DRUM - Split EP 

Four slices of polyrhythmic bass and breaks. 

"Split EP is the result of conversation between two work colleagues swapping and sharing tracks while on shift, finding common interest in music that takes the core stylistic markers of drum and bass and breaks it down into new and exciting forms. The result is a venn diagram of Lithe and NORA DRUM’s individual sounds, often overlapping and feeding back into the other but distinctly their own. 

Lithe’s contribution is markedly lighter in tone. Opener ‘It’s Rhythm’ is an upbeat, hard drum-inflected take on polyrhythmic drum and bass with pitched percussion and wobbling sub bass. The follow up ‘Second Pavilion’ is a lengthy, progressive take on liquid drum and bass that sits somewhere between fast techno and the composition style of Forest Drive West. 

NORA DRUM takes an introspective turn on their half of the EP with both tracks allowing space for mood and texture. ‘Lungfish’ is a rolling dark d&b number where polyrhythms encourage the listener to stop worrying about meter and give in to the feel of the track, with chaotic breaks on the back end that offer little respite. Closer ‘I Can Tell That You’re Trying’ is the heaviest of the four, with a deep, weighty lumber that crescendos into distorted amens and hoover bass."

Lithe takes a half-step into the club realm with Yaya / Gunman, shedding the faux-rock instrumentation of 2017’s Fervent Gum and leaning further into rhythmic maximalism.

Yaya / Gunman is the first of three EPs from Lithe to be released throughout 2020. Each track transitions into the next and listening to all three installments consecutively will reveal a fully realised mini-album.

Picking up immediately where Gunman left off (all furious doholla and rolling sub), Agrippa diffuses the tension, pulling right back into a haze of hopeful pads and industrial machinery. 

Almost as soon as Agrippa starts to build again it begins shedding layers, twisting into its final form where Badskin’s (C.M. Oliver) careful, treated guitar carries through to the resolution. Soft Light wastes no time in barrelling out of the haze of Agrippa, a hard drum hybrid of the three tracks that precede it. If Agrippa was a palate cleanse, it was in service of the four-to-the-floor kicks and thundering drum lines of Soft Light. 

Agrippa / Soft Light is the second of three EPs from Lithe to be released throughout 2020. Each track transitions into the next and listening to all three installments consecutively will reveal a fully realised mini-album.
