Scissor & Thread Us Vinilo y CD

Review: Scissor & Thread's fascination with the deeper end of the spectrum continues with another voyage into the murky and heady waters of house music's most cerebral sounds here with a new album, Ghosts, from Black Light Smoke. The opening cut itself is coated in a late-night mystery, a descending fog of humidity that dulls all sensations but the most intimate. Raw perc and whistles arrive to awaken the grooves of '727 Anthem (House Is Back)' while the dusty drums and lo-fi aesthetics continue on 'Hearts Not Broken" (feat Leah Lazonick), with a tender and seductive whisper at its core. Things remain warm and cuddly though out ensuing highlights like 'Out From Within'.

Review: The Scissor & Thread label is a deep house outlet with plenty of class. Will Young is next to add his sound to the conversation with this new 'Too Much' single. As always it is a sophisticated sound that is unhurried and artful assembled with cuddly drums and synths that lodge deep in your brain. On the B-side, it is label co-founder Francis Harris who steps up with his mix and serves up some of his usual sublime sound designs. Last of all, DJ Aakmael brings his signature smoky soul and dusty deep house depths to a gloriously heartwarming remix of his own.
