Description
2023, 12″ EP, Apnea.
We’ll never tire of Gerard Hanson’s individual take on electro, where vast swathes of pads and finely balanced melodies ensure a smooth trajectory into the outer realms of what machine funk can be. This latest EP appears on Spanish label Apnea, and it leads in with the bubbling bass and celestial vistas of ‘Lake Bachman’ before swerving to the lightly Italo-tinted melancholia of ‘Summer Springs’ – a fast but delicate trip to unknown regions. ‘Myrtle’ is a knottier transmission from Hanson’s tangled studio circuitry, while ‘Station Wagon’ completes the picture with some consummate Moog-esque basslines and star-gazing chords that speak volumes without saying words. – Juno
