CLU 'Mood' EP (Gobstopper Records)

Irish duo CLU were formed in 2011 by Sean Cooley and visual artist Kevin Freeney, and now debut on Gobstopper with the latest in a long line of boundary-pushing EPs. ‘Mood’ deals in the relationship between the club and visual art, referencing elements of hip hop and grime beatmaking, (listen out for the hollowed-out eski flutes on ‘Trance Lament’) within a framework rich in bubbling textures and melody. Our tip is hushed, banger-on-the-sly ‘Okami’, which hides plenty of 808 pressure inside complex layers of melody and Yung Lean-esque vocals, but all four tracks are superb.

8/10
