Dysania vinyl

Lobster Theremin has been rather canny with the way it uses its white label series, often to deliver debuts from previously unheard talent. Hedge Maze certainly fits the bill, with Dysania marking the Leeds-based youngster's first release of note. Undeniably fuzzy, otherworldly, intoxicating and drenched in tape hiss, the EP's three tracks sound like the work of an experienced head rather than a relative newcomer. There's happily much to admire, from the sci-fi textures, lolloping beats and intergalactic chords of the opening untitled track, to the sludgy, dreamy, pitched-down Detroit chords, metallic sweeps and head-nodding pulse of "(Slow)". If this is anything to go by, Hedge Maze could be a name to watch in future.
