SF-based Auralism returns with an EP of the label's signature techy, psychedelic sound.
Miguel Colmenares leads off the release with Tapipa's Groove, a crisp, melodic mid-paced groover buoyed by a big bottom end. Limaçon follows with BA Incandecent, an angular, slightly deranged cut from the asylum (or a particularly twisted after hours), complete with off-kilter vocal grunts and chantings over tight production.
Crazy Larry's Rooftop Music rides a tough, aggressive beat through a ethereal and sublime breakdown, while Habersham's cut – the most fluid option of the bunch – seduces with a deep, hypnotic rhythm and incredibly nuanced sound design.
Finally, Clint Stewart's Wormwood is the hardest and most techno leaning track on the release, with a poised kick drum cadence, woozy bass and a dark yet colorful hook.
