Last week we got a tease of Bristol bass boss
Culprate's forthcoming EP
Others in a nearly 5 minute
mini-mix via
Inspected's soundcloud. Today we get our first play in the third track of eight, the gob-smacking interstellar sweetness that is "
Jelly & Ice-Cream." Befitting of its title it is crisp, conspicuously cold and simply impossible to pass up. But this is no regular bowl of sweet treats, its power is more than a brainfreeze, although it brings those too.
Culprate's concoction is a lethal combination of mind-altering melodies, alien intelligence, cruelly crafted grooves and deft sound design. The first few spoonfuls of this substance seem easy, but quickly the bass breaks through sending you diving into your own mind, seizing on the inside as all kinds of flashing lights and images invade. The brief break in the middle is muddied, shaken unsureness. The rising return of madness seems almost unbearable before becoming somehow satisfying while hitting stride off of the psychotic mixture that is "
Jelly & Ice-Cream." Suck back the bliss-inducing bass on Bandcamp and pre-order
Others, out November 22nd.
