A very diverse EP this. Starting off with a rerelease of the title track, which first appeared on Smallfish Records almost twenty years ago, this EP comes hot on the heels of the ‘Parole & Papaver EP’, and suggests that Vertical Cat may be making up for lost time. Better late than never on the basis of this imaginative release. ‘In Love’ uses a loping bassline as a foundation for some airy but punchy synths to create a track which veers all over the place but still manages to retain its shape. ‘Snow Creatures’ feels like a jazz jam put through a hauntological filter and ‘Moss’ is a very effective rendition of soaring deep tech. ‘You Shocker’ uses an eponymous spoken word sample in order to wrap muscular, synthetic percussion around it, finishing off this EP of fluctuating frequencies in style.
