Stepback Vinyl & CDs

Review: Moot Tapes and Made Magnetic boss Polytunnel moves away from his own labels to make a notable debut on Edinburgh-based label Stepback Records. It's a deep dive into the world of electro that showcases his melodic style and potent mix of breaks and acid. 'Of People & Place' is a roomy and atmospheric open, a slow motion groove with plaintive chords before 'Ruchill Raw' takes off into the cosmos with wispy leads darting about over twanging metal drums. 'The Last Leap' slows the pace one more for bendy acid undulations a la Tin Man and 'Lingua Acqua' is a lovely mix of squelchy acid, chatty snares and meandering basslines.
