"Head bashing bass electronica here from ex-punk lee Marshall, combining
Begg-like electronica, punched beats and blips galore on this
multi-tempo ep. Battle is a slow jungle darkness full of growler bass
and quirky synth lines. Automatic is buckfunky with oodles of knob
twiddling to warp the head, anchored by a shout out loud vocal loop and
layered bleeps. Flip over for downbeat head mash electronica to test the
limitations of your speakers." Mike Hogan (Breakspoll/Mofo Mag)
"A strong debut for both Cardiff based producer Lee Marshall aka
Underpass and Urban Planning Records. The EP begins with 'Battle' - a
heavy bass scuffles with discordant melodies and an electro beat.
'Automatic' - with crazy bass sounds and grinding kick drum - writhes
like a malfunctioning assembly robot. Everything changes on the flip
side as Underpass introduces lush textures and bleeps in the gorgeous
title track. More abstract than electro but retaining a Detroit
influenced beat. 'Vent' enters a more hostile setting with dark, looming
melodies and metallic noises. Whether you're after glitched-up
electronics or off-centre floor shakers this is pure quality - check it
out!" (delta-9.net)
"Minimalism'd seem to be quite the thing at the moment, wouldn’t it?
After all, 'Flashdance' refuses to die, and 'Drop It Like It's Hot' must
be the most under-instrumented top ten hit since 'Killing Me Softly'.
And it's in this spirit that we welcome Underpass, for whom chord
changes would appear to be a sparingly used option at best. There's
about as much gnarled squealing as you'll find on 'Rocker', mind, and an
earlyish B-boy sensibility at play that's perhaps most fully realised on
the Last Poets-sampling 'Automatic', while the title track goes some way
to filling the Orbital-shaped hole in our stereo. Promising, to say the
least." (play louder.com)
