After nearly a decade of developing his lusty sound palette, Jack Lever adds the first proper notch on his belt with this accomplished debut extended play on Furthur Electronix, and digital release via his Open Tapes imprint.
Comparisons with artists from the Warp and Skam roster of the 90s and 00s can be drawn with Jacks earlier music. However, recent collaborations with the Manchester enigma, Black Lodge, on Middlesboroughs Industrial Coast, and microtonal project, sk222, with Joe McBride have seemingly pushed Jack outside of his electronica wheelhouse to a starker, more mystical plane.
On Sequunutur Sines, Jack sends ethereal shimmering sonic sculptures into a thick reverberant fog, laced with discordant sine wave melodies and expertly twisted cheap breakbeat samples. The whirring stereo panning, downsampled top end, and dubby sub harmonics make the tracks come off less like Boards Of Canada and more like some lost instrumentals by say, Odd Future or Massive Attack.
