Mordecai 'Lakeview Drive EP' (Pear Drops)
Mordecai is a name we’ve been hearing a lot over the past few months. His debut EP for fledgling Bristol imprint Pear Drops deals in the lush r'n'b textures and sweet-boy rhythms of producers like Gundam and Finn, but executed with less freneticism and bags of calm. Opener ‘Uncle Charlie’ is a case in point, fluttering between choppy grime and blissed-out r'n'b at will, while ‘Together’ works a similar formula, only daintier and more intricate. Final track ‘Cutie’ takes it even further, keeping the flavours sickly sweet right until the end (and look out for Deadcrow’s booming trap mix, too).
