An unexpectedly bold and adventurous release arrives from 〈MANA〉, a label that explores music from an academic perspective. Making his debut EP here is London's JACK CHRYSALIS, known for having his tracks played by top DJs like BEN UFO! A brilliant dance record woven from dreamy synthesizers and beats laced with a garage swing. Highlights include "Another Year," where organic woodwind sounds meet broken beat, and the garage-techno cut "Coldharbour" (sample 1). "One Day" (sample 2) evokes the nostalgia of mid-period electronica through its FX vocal samples. Dance music that pairs the wistfulness of 2000s folktronica and ambient techno with beatwork carrying a modern edge. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
