Sandboards 'Visa' EP (Feel My Bicep)
Until now, Feel My Bicep has solely been an outlet for Bicep releases – but this landmark release changes all that. It comes courtesy of Sandboards, a new duo discovered in Dunedin, New Zealand. Tomas Krammer and Eden Burns immediately feel at home in the FMB series with their use of 80s pan pipe synths, analogue bass and sprightly drums. ‘Visa’ is then remixed by London producer Shinra, who decides to break things up with his electro breakbeat remix (something we’re sure Bicep will approve of). ‘Pink Slippz’ has shuffling drums, dramatic tones, floating synths and an all-around epic feel that definitely justifies Bicep’s decision to open up the label to other artists.
