A Beautiful Sonic Excursion
by Sir Squirrel
In contrast to many EPs that one stumbles across, that make you feel their shortened length with their slap dash assembly, this effort has a lot of depth going for it and a pacing that is both impressive and refreshing. Fans of Bonobo, Four Tet, and Cinematic Orchestra will immediately be drawn into the lush organic atmosphere, with clever electronic manipulations, that is so carefully constructed, within the first twenty seconds. Proof of Concept explores these worlds long enough to leave a solid impression on the listener and then effortlessly glides on to the next. Despite the connections the fans of the afore mentioned artists will draw with their thick upright bass textures, crisp live drum backbones and delicate melodies, these songs are in no way derivative, and each track is solid and engaging with an unique style. An exciting listen that will appeal to not only jazz, IDM, and ambient electronic music lovers, but anyone looking for a 17 minute departure from the average.
