Tom Jarney’s ‘Wing Theory ll’, “explores brand new territory in an eclectic mix of both dance-centric and home-listening tracks”, according to its press release. I would venture the opinion that it’s much more grounded in the latter than the former. Moreover, it’s only really ‘Heated Silence’ that properly hits the spot dance-wise, utilising breaks on a trance foundation across a nine minute length that is both subtle and artful enough to keep you wanting more. Both ‘Fog Runs Deep’ and ‘Flock Of Sparrows’ are atmospheric slow dives into the abyss, with recognisable rave tropes buried deep in the mix. The ornithological themes continues with the beatless ‘Trill’, (does it still “make budgies bounce with health”?), an ambient track which feels like a misty morning in the mountains. Starddling both spheres of influence is ‘Towering Mountain feat. Holly Wilkes’, an engaging and deep track which highlights its vocals on top of a vaguely tribal, break beat which suppresses itself from going off too much in any particular direction.
