Deadcrow 'Night Wonder EP' (Terrorhythm)
Very much in the Silk Road Assassins-meets-MssingNo mould, Deadcrow makes his debut for Terrorhythm with four complex, iced-out tracks. From the spacey dystopia of heady opener ‘Last Kiss’ to the trappy club lean of ‘Krai’, Deadcrow exhibits all the hallmarks of a producer with a clear and futuristic vision, although on ‘IDK’ the warm, fuzzy synth palette lends itself more to Bristol’s classic purple sound. Final track ‘Wifi’, though, reverts to form as its cosmic, dwindling melodies glide and float in-and-out of focus to draw things to a fitting close.
