Three tracks + α with a consistent Scandinavian transparency, reminiscent of labels like SVEK, featuring dynamic basslines, tight kicks, soaring pads, and shimmering upper sounds. The A-side, with its basic minimal progression, is of course great, but B1 is the best, with its contrast between rough percussion and beautiful synths flying overhead.
