Sorrow 'Arisen EP' (Shinigrim)
Killer new record from cult producer, Sorrow, here. ‘Arisen’ features four tracks, all of which nod more toward dubstep than they do the fiery grime sounds he’s renowned for alongside sparring partner Asa. Opener ‘Stockyards’ is as industrial as its name suggests, all clattering percussion and faded bass tones, while ‘Projekts’ deals in Keysound-esque rollage, albeit offset by cloaked atmospherics and dreamy vocal FX. Our tip is the shadowy title track, which floats along with more of a classical dubstep lean and gorgeous vocal loops.
