Splitsingle is a short EP, but an excellent addition to CRT’s already impressive discography.
Cathode Ray Tube dropped a three song single entitled—how very clever—Splitsingle (Condition Human). The three songs vary in style and length while all bearing the hallmarks of CRT’s sonic palette. “Stolen Pressure” opens with the clank and rumble of a junkyard coming to life before morphing into a hot mess of a dancefloor cracker with thumping drums and depth charge bass coming together like a Funkadelic fever dream. “The Fool” opens with a bed of misty, swirling ambience and beats with their bass scooped out like ghost drums stumbling across a marsh at midnight; this progresses into an arpeggiated 909 drum pounding invocation reminiscent of Kenny Larkin, System 7, and Drum Club. The final track “Interstellar Sea Cow” arrives with the pace and tempo of a funeral march on beatbox loops, melancholic strings and slow, throbbing synth bass. Splitsingle is a short EP, but an excellent addition to CRT’s already impressive discography. ~CT
Splitsingle is available on Condition Human.
