Simula checks back in with Critical Music, following up his label-debut ‘Salvo’ EP exactly one year ago with another couple of deliciously dark, deceptively simple peak-time shellers.
‘Afraid’ is a sinister walk through a sonic house of horrors; eerie soundscapes giving way to a gaggle of shape-shifting basslines, screeching from the darkness as a two-step drum groove coldly ticks away.
If ‘Afraid’ is the nightmare, ’Count 10’ is the gremlin under the bed; feeding the fear with a more aggressive barrage of horribly satisfying basslines and twisted synths, fighting for dominance between ultra-clean stepping drums.
