GHOST 'Heavy Shoulders' (Goldman Records)
London outfit GHOST and their intelligent, percussive creations are no slouches when it comes to tidy artwork, and they’ve brought the red carpet with them here. Collector’s item the ’41:39 Deeper EP’ comes with hand-painted sleeves in different colours, no less – and when the music’s this good, why not? Standout ‘Heavy Shoulders’ winds an agile, springy mesh of gently clattering breakbeats around glacial atmospheres and a luxurious velvety bassline. Whether you’re in a club or lost in headphones, the dusty, grainy, classical aesthetic will have you yearning for more.Outstanding stuff.
