Spring, my friends, is out there springing harder than one of King Tubby’s legendary custom spring reverb units, the soil beneath your feet would give you trees tomorrow if you only stuck a twig in it, the skies are bluer than the girl in the Vermeer painting, and obviously this must mean there’s a new inHabit release about to hatch. You know
the (seed-) drill by now I’m sure of it. Once again we’re pleased to announce a debut release from a promising producer, this time from the glorious hills of Donegal, who we believe is going to make you dance and think and feel things hitherto unfelt, and move you in ways you’ve yet to be moved. Three tracks on offer here, and all of them move with a ridiculously self-assured swagger that’s simultaneously reminiscent
of the old Hard Leaders jams your least reputable uncle used to batter back in the latter days of the 90s and also of the kind of thing you might hear in the sets of the most discerning heads riding that post-Jungle revival horse right into the gaping maws of rugged, distorted millenarian fin-de-siecle techstep. The last time the Culture paused
at a crossroads like this one no less of an authority than Simon Reynolds observed that this music was less about pleasure and joy than it was about martial art - these tunes were built for floors where people honed their bodies in preparation for the looming end of the world, the civilisational collapse, Raving as callisthenics in preparation for an imminent apocalypse. I will leave you with that thought.
Out now on Bandcamp. All other platforms April 11th.
