Believe EP vinyl

With the Juno research minions still none the wiser as to the true identity of Rezzett, Will Bankhead unveils another absolute mind killer from origin unknown in the shape of the Believe EP by Levantis. Don't look hopefully at that search engine son cos it won't help you here, instead bask in perhaps the best TTT transmission of the year. Opening track "Music Hall" feels less like a musical arrangement and more like a living breathing entity for the first few minutes then suddenly it finds a wonderfully rewarding house beat buried deep beneath the claustrophobic murk and that's it, you are hooked. It's positively cheery in comparison to "Pieces" which sounds like the sonic equivalent of being dragged to hell, whilst those seeking respite will find solace in "Take My Heart". Here mangled textures that feel like they're slowly enveloping themselves and some insistent rhythms built from recycled drums combine in a manner that has you slipping the needle back to that 1 mm gap midway through the vinyl to bask in it all once more.
