Relevee – Gonzalez , Delia/Russom, Gavin

Label: Emi

Moving on the from the intense, wormholing journeys navigated by last year’s ‘The Days Of Mars’, Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom offer a further four alienating and diffucult tracks courtesy of the pair’s ‘Relevee’ EP,  featuring remixes from the DFA, Carl Craig and Babyford. And whilst techo geeks everywhere are likely to wetting themselves over the sheer transcendental minimalism of it all, the rest of the record buying public are likely to be left scratching their heads. It’s not unpleasant. Far from it. It’s just the stuttering, sparkly bloop patterns and the portentous atmospherics of the drone machines are hardly likely to list your own or Wayne Rooney’s spirits this summertime. The DFA on the otherhand take the arty synths, and all the rest of the humming hypnotics and add a dose of funky beats, some boogie keys, some flesh and some flighty house magic. So don’t go treading on anybody’s nuts if you don’t have to.

Likely to nag at you until you surrender.
