Toasty 'Bump' (Circadian Rhythms)
it's been 18 months since Circadian Rhythms put out its inaugural release, Plata's essential white label 12" 'Kru'. But this new EP from legendary producer Toasty may be even harder to follow. Shadowy and unnerving, ‘Metal’ consists of Toasty's first original work since 2009. Of the three new tracks here, our doozy is ‘Bump’, a percussive workout that journeys through spells of drone-like atmosphere with winding melodies that wouldn’t feel out of place on the score for a re-booted Drive soundtrack, only gullier.
