Identity Crisis

A 3 track house ep (17m 59s) — released May 13th 2022 on Artesian Sounds

Artesian Sounds is back after a two-year rest, announcing Scissorwork's new EP 'Identity Crisis'. Giving a nod to his efforts at knitting together different sounds and genres into a coherent whole, 'Identity Crisis' comprises three stylistically distinct tracks shot through with the Bristol producer's signature stylings. Moving forward from his earlier forays into lo-fi, Scissorwork presents a collage of influences spanning house, leftfield bass and electro.

The opener 'A Hundred Years' is a summery earworm featuring cascading synth lines and a catchy vocal hook meandering over a guitar loop, comped with delicate touches on the Rhodes in quieter moments. On the flipside is 'Flourishes', a rhythmic workout swung forward by syncopated stabs and a shuffling beat that seems to warp in and out of different time signatures. 'Identity Crisis' culminates in the title track, a rolling electro number topped off with a slidey G-funk solo.

Love this. Identity Crisis is a Jam! And the Radio edit of A hundred Years is perfect too. Will get these in somewhere for sure! - Stuart Sandeman / Breathpod BBC1 Radio
