Mavericks EP is a deconstructed and beautifully crafted take
on the trap sound, using a dramatic sense of space and
melody that gives the EP an epic feel plus an attention to
sonic detail that makes tracks move like theyre alive,
avoiding all clichÈs. Mavericks 1 opens with a lush repetitive
string melody, dropping into tense atmosphere; Still uses the
space between notes, unusual configurations of tuning and
tone draw the track apart and let every note shimmer in dark
space. The steel pan melody and spiralling snares of Dough,
manage to remind of vintage Black Dog, rolling out emotively
over bass and drums. Tozko Paran is trap re-imagined as a
delicate cyborg waltz and Cataphract featuring Kuedo, runs
a twisting, turning melody over unsettling chords, dubby
drums and a bumpy ride bass that pumps like a fearful
heart. The EP finishes with Chunk, its glassy plodding melody
rattling out over a desolate atmosphere and slowed down
fight-game phrases. An astonishing debut from a name youll
hear much more of this year.
