[Release page] Lightly doused in discrete downtempo, Marjen takes elements from hip-hop and decomposes them into quaint, minimized textures. Microscopic blurs of instrumentals, beat-centric plateau’s and elusive harmonies appear and disappear within four faint snapshots of time. Barely inching over 6-minutes of combined audio trajectories, these exploratory windows are a reflective array of deconstructed hip-hop and percussive shards. Deceptikon / Machine Drum echoes are present on the highlight track “WWLCD” where melodic bubbles appear in a mist of scattered beats and buzzing. As this EP gravitates outward, it immediately pulls you into its strange vortex of lost soundtracks (ie. the Amon Tobin styled “A Simple Smokescreen”) and crunchy synth-lines (ie. “Concrete Curtains”). And just as you’re forced through these tiny frequency capsules, Marjen takes the same byte-size moments into the next phase and confounds the senses with a swirl of pleasant confusion.
