Description
2019, 12″ EP, RR.
London duo Raime return to RR with their only EP this year. Taking off where “We Can’t Be That Far From The Beginning” left us, once again they lay down a series of new blueprints that are at once familiar and fully far-out. All stripped back to the essence, each track comprises minimal ingredients for maximum flavour; “Num” smelts things down to naked percussion and pads, gradually building into a heavy moody mind state, “Ripli” takes us down more of a techno tunnel with rolling beats that break up into sudden splashes of eerie ambience while “Kella” bounces us off the walls with its Detroitian funk and off-beat framework. “Belly” closes the book on the most sombre tone we’ve heard since their sophomore album “Tooth” in 2016. – Juno
