Francis Harris is a founding member of the Scissor & Thread label - a Brooklyn-based imprint established 2011. Previously releasing under the alias Adultnapper, Harris established Scissor & Thread as an outlet for deeper, more personal sounds, as well as music from a range of associated artists including Black Light Smoke, Bob Moses and Aris Kindt. Harris’ own output has gone from tightly wound tech house bombs as Adultnapper to intricate and expressive musical journeys, and has seen him branch out with a new label - Kingdoms - a home for adventurous music from across the board.

More We Cannot Do is a perfect example of Harri’s feel for depth and dynamics - the track is seeming submerged warm amniotic fluid - cocooned in compression that the listener can get instantly lost in. A think, subby bass provides much of the groove, with skittering percussion on top and luscious fragments of melody. Minor Forms, the EP’s title track is cut from similar cloth - emerging form a subtly distant place to inhabit a melancholic, beautifully evocative space - somewhere between ambient, jazz and the dancefloor. Valentino Mora offers up two exquisite reworks of Minor Forms to complete the EP. Mora, the Berlin based Uruguayan producer, brings his own layer of depth to Harris’s originals - the Underwater Rephrase version adds a propulsive kick and manages to shimmer and shake in subtle, beautiful ways. The Cosmic Trans Rephrase is somehow even deeper - a bubbling bass pulse anchors the track while pads drift in and out, adding to the blissful, meditative whole.
