EXP023 - GRASSHOPPA - LOST IN GRAY MATTER EP
Received: From the second you hit play, you know it's on. This EP is a 37 minute
no-holds-barred attack on your eardrums. The beats are relentless in
their insistence, and the melodies and pads are about as overflowing
and volcanic as you could imagine. Simply put, this is expressionist
drill 'n' bass. the songs are extremely glitchy and fast-paced, yet
hang in the air like a haze around your sphere of perception. Thin,
bell-like chiming and strumming floats on a thick rockbase of
orgy-like percussion. "Drown In Lena River" takes you on a ride
through a funhouse of contrasting organic plant-life, while "owiiFF"
seems to struggle just to maintain its own static form. The pieces
come off, ultimately, as having a natural child-like wonder, and an
awe and a playfulness that other artist struggle to pretentiously
invent in their music.
