A Very English Wind is a cutting-edge and magnetic EP that stays ahead of the curve by incorporating our favorite gritty electro-infusions submerged in saccharine blips’n bleeps experiments.
A highly developed electro-nic buffet
The selection of music offered by brokntoys keeps growing, and they consistently hit the mark every time. I’m jumping right into Ninechecker’s five track manifest of bass, bleeps, and distortion without knowing anything about the artist beforehand. “Antennas” slows the pulse down with its sophisticated glitch textures and tones spanning ethereal synths, while the title track hits with raw analog electro and hard breakbeat rhythms. “Curtain Twitcher” captivates with its mesmerizing beats and deeper industrial-acid mechanics, while “Proposal” transports us to a far-off realm with its surge of harmonizing synth notes and soundtrack acid-wash.
In a highly developed electro-nic buffet, the ending track (“Turn My Lungs To Ice”) feels like the conclusion of everything that has come before it. Breaks, bass, acid, and robotic soundscapes ebb and flow, casting a vast shadow over its siblings.
A Very English Wind is a cutting-edge and magnetic EP that stays ahead of the curve by incorporating our favorite gritty electro-infusions submerged in saccharine blips’n bleeps experiments. We will keep our ears peeled for more of Ninechecker’s fascinating soundscapes.
