Artist: Kick Bong
Title:
Watch The Mirror E.P.
Label:
Cosmicleaf Records
Released:
15th May 2019
The
lastest E.P. from Parisian producer Franck Jousellin ‘Watch The
Mirror’ is a further exploration of electronica that at times
touches upon melodic techno and trance, but is always juxtaposed with
more chilled atmospheres and a downtempo underbelly. Which over the
last few years has become a sound he has continued to perfect.
First
up is the title track which begins in a dark brooding manner with
electronic beeps and a plodding kick drum in a techno fashion. The
looping bleeps are joined by sweeping melodic synths that build
somewhat and eventually drop, whilst the last section hits a bit
harder and includes some dubbed out spoken word samples.
Next
on the agenda is ‘The Sky Light’ which again begins in a
melancholic brooding manner but with a touch more pace than it’s
predecessor. The dark fx and bass notes are perfectly counterbalanced
with the lighter melodic tones and I’m really sold with this track.
Last
but not least is ‘I Love It’ and keeping in fashion to the rest
of the E.P. it begins with dark growling synths and bass notes before
the lighter melodic synths and loops are employed. For me this is
reminiscent of early 90’s techno and as the track develops it only
strengthens that feeling for me. Once again I’m sold or you could
say ‘I Love It’.
