Ethereal Beacons by Inigo Kennedy
Asymmetric chief Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with a superb five track EP 'Ethereal Beacons'.
Opening track 'Climbing Frame' sets optimistic and mysterious organ-like tones against a driving rhythm full of machine-gun hi-hats and solid kick drums. Title track 'Ethereal Beacons' continues that theme albeit in a slightly more playful mood; a track with two distinct personalities that come and go. 'Metagalactic' follows, with an electro-like beat and splinters of staccato futurism. Next up is 'Altostratus' which keeps the combination of melancholy and hope but with a slightly heavier and grainier rhythm section. Closing the EP is the pure techno of 'Strong-Arm', full of swirling notes and constantly changing percussive elements glued together with a solid four-to-the-floor kick.
The artwork is based on an original piece by Shani Kennedy.
