Russian electronics is back in full-swing with Eu’s Eu_Soft that will finally see a full release on the Art-Tek label. Alexandr Zaitzev and Ilia Baramiya form this duo of quietly placed melodic hip-hop. But keep in mind that their sounds are always moving, constantly changing, never static, yet always grooving. You can find more information by heading over to the Eu website. So when you see the peculiar looking digital collage artwork, keep in mind that the music is just as encapsulating as the images on the sleeve. Place Autechre’s digital distortions in a blender with Plod’s happier moments, or the Boards of Canada’s melody driven architecture and Eu is the result of this strange combination. It’s always a pleasure to be able to sit down and relax to the soft qualities Eu manufacturing, and Eu_Soft is no exception.
