I purchased the Hidden Figure’s previous outing on Exalt, a deliciously delicate 7” called ‘Silhouettes’ which definitely made its mark. Fast forward to now and we have this more comprehensive release. It’s more upfront as well and dominated by acid. All the tracks except have a strong 303 presence which is skillfully deployed in order to drive each track in question from mere functionality to something approaching electro nirvana. ‘Stolen Tears’ breaks with tradition in being a more reflective, emotive piece in contrast to the rest of the EP, which is pacier and more visceral. ‘Conformation Bias’ highlights breakbeats, while both ‘Oxendales Acid’ and ‘Helvetios’ set the control for the heart of the linear acid beat. Lovely stuff.
