Shudan - 6/10

Shudan debuts proper for White Peach with a real emphasis on showcasing his full sound palette. Beatless opener ‘Fushidigane’ is a fitting start as hazy melodies collide and bounce off one another almost at will, before things completely switch up on the raucous, early-grime-meets-dubstep-circa-2009 production ‘TM13’.

Title track ‘Arctic Garms’ continues that trend, again referencing early grime but more defined by artillery-like bass drills, until ‘Flammie Riddim’ returns to a more melodic standpoint to finish off, this time spiked with some abrasive bass licks and glitchy arcade samples. A mixed bag.
