Time Spirit 12″

While Palaphor may not be a familiar name, the artist behind it is deeply entrenched in the meandyou story. Manchester’s premier stable of house and techno subversives have long vibrated to the sound of Juniper, and now one half of the duo presents a new stream of inventive machine expression from the outer limits. Even if the space and textures on this EP place it in the leftfield, it actually hits with immediacy and warmth that makes it incredibly easy to sink into. From the autumnal haze of “Depart” to the melancholic thrust of “Peace,” this is a gorgeous addition to the impeccable meandyou catalogue. One can only hope there’s more music from Palaphor waiting in the wings.
