Nowhere

Matt Gunn's latest EP, a three track wonder called Nowhere, came out last Friday. Matt said that while recording it he just 'let all the influences come out and just hit record'. The first track is eight minutes of dub/ shoegaze splendour called Somthing Ain't Wrong If Something Ain't Right, an electronic drumbeat crawl with currents of guitar drippled all over the place, FX and blurred, multi- tracked vocals singing a hymn to a feeling. Eventually a bassline hits. Think Nick McCabe in 1992 playing along with The Orb at an after party as the sun comes up and you're in the right area.

Second track NoWerk takes Dusseldorf as its launchpad, a Kling Klang inspired six minutes of machine music. Again, the vocals are buried in the track, within earshot but almost out of reach. Squelchy rhythms and clean keyboard topline melodies. 

The third track is The Third Wave, almost nine minutes long and not a second wasted, more FXed guitars, more shimmering psychedelia in no hurry to get anywhere quickly. Two and a half minutes in drums and electronic strings show up, some electric piano, more sun dazzled guitar lines. Some time spent in ambient psychedelics contemplating... stuff. 

Nowhere is here. Highly recommended.
