Released by Kompakt


We don’t need the title of this EP to help us understand we’re not listening to minimal. Thanks anyway Rex. ‘Every Day’ is a stomping electro pop rock-out reminiscent of Depeche Mode’s ‘Policy of Truth.’ ‘Maximize’ does exactly what it says on the tin. Eighties TV themes played by Animal from the Muppets with everything in the studio turned up to eleven. If your ears have any life left, ‘Sequencer’ is probably the most endearing track, with much more hypnotic elements gliding in and out, only to be scrambled up beyond recognition. Not a subtle record, but lovely nonetheless.
