‘Can Dub’ is a good title for this track. If there was ever a soundtrack needed for kicking one down the road, then this is it. It never really gets out of second gear and is the length you need it to be, even though it’s just over 3 minutes long. It carries huge wafts of “I don’t give a shit” within its heightened spacial awareness and, as such, is to be applauded. And that’s generally the context under which these three collisions of sound and vision have been created. ‘Diing’ is caterpillar music, and I have no idea why I’ve just written that, but it’s true. Not as smeared as ‘Can Dub’, more definition and whimsy. Definitely one for the invertebrates. Which brings us on to ‘Leech’, perhaps the most fully realised of these vignettes. Definitely a multilevel operator, marching drums held together by interplanetary, stratospheric. Synthetic sonic flourishes that feel like a kinaesthetic imaging of marijuana, which is really what the whole release feels like. A small, but perfectly formed.
fug wrapped in a fug.
