Geographically hailing from closer to Northumbria than Notting Hill and more sonically reminiscent of Korallreven than, say,
Katy B dancing with the W11 daylights on is Sheffield's
Carnivals. Enough to unhook even the most staunchly anti-bedroom producer miser from such close-minded misery, Departners is not only an idiom so immediately great that it ought to be inducted into the OED ASAP but a track that's commensurately seductive, if not more so. A rippling ebb of ambient allure that's all soft undulation and scuffed clack 'n' scratch, more astonishing still is that with the irrefutably glorious (if a little
Balam Acab-indebted) French Tongues cued up for his forthcoming
Humility EP (expected August 7th) the best is yet to come...
Carnivals' Soundcloud.
