Peder Mannerfelt The 3D Printed Songbook

Fresh from production on Fever Ray’s new album, Swedish producer and half of Roll The Dice, Peder Mannerfelt (Avian, Ultimate Hits, Numbers, Hinge Finger etc.) returns to his own imprint for this 6-track EP. On ‘The 3D Printed Songbook’ he renders his vision of techno via abstract electronics with a sound that hovers just at the edge of the dancefloor. The juddering kicks and rattling snares of ‘First Day’ are draped in silky, daydream synth. ‘It’s Coming’ builds anticipation with woody polyrhythms. ‘You Had’ is a detour into sleep ambient, while ‘Texas is the Reason’ veers into ponding alien techno terrain. ‘Against the Wall’ throbs and pulsates, building into an intense volcanic frenzy. The heavy, slow, stepper, ‘Patient Boy’ shudders and tears along with big subs, sharp claps and ripping acidic synth - like a sasquatch emerging from its slumber in an ice cavern.
