Egyptrixx explores the Old Black

Less Music today announced a forthcoming EP from highly regarded Canadian producer Egyptrixx, featuring collaborations with indie outfit Ohbijou and visual artists Datdatdat and Seripop.

The two track EP will be released on limited 10″ vinyl on November 25, with Montreal-based design collective Seripop providing the artwork you can see above. A-Side track “Old Black” is a cover of drone pioneers Earth, with Egyptrixx taking the glacial guitars and mournful cello of the original and dousing it in an altogether denser, more electronic sheen.Ohbijou adds some vocal layers, and there is a suitably woozy accompanying video directed by Berlin-based studio Datdatdat (who also provided the clip for Egyptrixx’s “Start from the Beginning”). On the flip, “Hiawath” is initially a more raucous affair, with tearing synths and clipped beats, before it drops back into a deeply atmospheric, ethereal outro.

Egyptrixx’s debut LP, Bible Eyes, a richly melodic stew of house, techno, dubstep and experimental, was released earlier this year via London’s Night Slugs imprint.
