NH 012EP
|
Nervous Horizon are back with the second in a series of quick-fire EP releases, this time in the form of Ehua's Aquamarine -- her first EP proper for the label after contributing a track ("Meteora") to 2019's NH Vol.3 compilation. Following hot on the heels of SIM's dancehall-inflected Terminate EP, Aquamarine details five new tracks inspired by both the color and motion of water. With tempos ranging from 95-140bpm, Ehua also uses custom made percussive samples and original vocals -- spoken thoughts in reversed Italian on "Black" -- to harness different motions and states, collecting thoughts on organisms, frequencies and vibrations that we might not be aware of or perceive. These ideas and concepts take shape via a rich and experimental, five-track workflow that moves between the dark, sludgy broken-beats of "Xantho" through to the unnerving, drone techno of "Diatom" -- a track written to mirror the darkest depths of the ocean.
