Got a limited edition one sided etched Mordant Music 10" in and it's a decent one. 'Hauntological Song' starts off with some very regal sounds before building into a groovy, dubby track with lots going on. Little Melodies, nice delay and reverb, funky percussion, fragments of vocal, proper Rolf Harris fat sub-bass. The way it builds is really hypnotic. A real deep tune, you can lock into one of many of the layers and just ride with it. I'm actually struggling to write about this as it's really quite original sounding. Recommended.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
