It’s always a pleasure to find free music in one’s inbox. It’s even more of one when said music comes unexpectedly and after an extremely long hiatus. Sound Of The Suburbs, whose releases (especially ‘Beautifly’) go for stupiid money on Discogs, returns with the digital files that matter in the shape of this new release. ‘Cocos Trip’ kicks things off, all thick bass, dense, spacious sound and ubergrande synths. It’s a deadly cpombinati0on once the percussion starts to activate. ‘Fat Stack’ has just as much going for it. There is a more stripped down feel initially, but this void is filled, aided by an eponymous vocal sample and disco syndrums. ‘Internal’ slows things down slightly and creates a feeling of vague disorientation alongside general diffidence. Like when you’re summoning up the courage to dance. ‘Oxycuted’ is possibly the most powerful track here, and again uses spoken samples to deft effect. “What they need is more medication” indeed. A wonderful return to form, from someone who never really went away. “Dad’s comin’ back tae us Colin.”
