The opening track on this compilation EP is ‘Get Your Shit Together’; a gruff electro vocal layered over computerised beeps. It has a little Har Mar Superstar-style sleaze to it and you can feel the American influence from Chicago-based MC Quake. Moving through the EP there is lighter, more whispered vocals and gentle synth from Come In Tokyo on track two. Then track three from Eyechilds combines a deep nasal vocal with naturalistic bleeps – sometimes sounding like a robotic tweeting bird or a mechanical swell of wind. It takes you on a bit of a journey, changing and swerving around different vocals and beats at its own stop-start pace.
But the final track from OnTheFly closes the door in style. It is darker and has an Americana rootsy vibe, gently wandering through a repetitive vocal. The foreboding electro backbeats sound close – almost within you – and a piano thuds along like a heartbeat. It’s a little Buck 65, but without the humour. It’s a dark end to this atmospheric electro Fence tale.
