III vinyl

What began two years ago with I is now completed with III, the final part in the Shock's trilogy of 12" releases for the ESP Institute label and apparently the prelude to a full length album due out later this summer! Much like the previous Shocks releases from Wanmhope, the three tracks here perfectly represent the Italian's talent for meticulously folding layers of sound over hypnotic beats and provide compelling evidence that this mysterious producer has few peers when it comes to music flushed with warped melancholy. Lead track "White Mountain" sets the tone, vague strains of guitar feedback pushed to the depths as the swooping choral voices vie for your attention with a notably crunchy beat. The more adventurous Balearic DJs will levitate towards the flip and the atmospheric delights of "Ancient Creature" and the ocean deep "N'Grip".
