Statics EP

After more than a decade of deep, expansive productions on labels such as

Detroit Underground, Semantica and CPU, Annie Hall arrives on MUSAR for

a record typically rich in texture and understated grooves.

Opening track ‘Linium’ immediately seduces listeners with a complex drum

pattern that somehow feels spacious, subtly twisting and turning it’s way

around Hall’s analogue world.

Dutch artist Mattheis maintains this understated feel but adds a soft,

compelling kick in response on his suspenseful remix of ‘Lavandula’. The

original, moodier version of this cut the follows to open the B side, gradually

erupting around a killer distorted bassline.

The EP continues to hit a more urgent note with the tense machinations of

‘Silene’, where dense layers of stuttering, frenetic drums interweave with

Hall’s trademark, melancholy keys. The record concludes on a weightless,

transcendent note with ‘Santolina’, taking each visceral element featured

thus far and slowing each down, with affecting results.
