You'd spent our whole life in a dance of fear. And when you examine that, you realize that very often the thing you were frightened of wasn't nearly as frightening as the fear. Eira Haul returns to Edition Akasha to launch us into the ether by way of the Star Vertigo EP. Moving across a luminous range of otherworldly atmospheres, five tantalizing original cuts strike a spellbinding balance between body-shaking euphoria and meditative mind-healing. On the A-side, the garage shuffle and ultra-deep bass wobbles of "Ceramics" corrode beneath its hypnotic strings, while the fast-paced acid lines of "Anthracite" bubble and squeak over a choir of fallen angles. "Memory Rush" captures a similar tension as the engulfing dub chords at its center ebb and flow on-top a muscular four-to-the-floor pulse to illuminate the darkest of nights. The B-side is equally captivating: Like a gravitational collapse, the stellar melodies of "Incense Trip" break down into a void of razor-sharp percussion only to shine again in full effect thereafter. Lastly, Eira Haul sheds the black holes to ascend to catharsis with "Star Vertigo": "We wanted to try to understand what the fear is [...] and whether that energy is something we can transform -- is it our friend, is it our foe?" muses the voice on-top the tender bounce of the title-track's lush framework, leaving you with a lofty sense of hope transcending this exceptional sophomore EP.
