Jlin returns with the first fruits of her new work since last years Free Fall EP. Dark Lotus is a transition between Dark Energy , her debut album, and her forthcoming Black Origami full-length. A-side Te Return of the Blvck Rxbbit (ft. Avril Stormy Unger) is the more traditional of the two tracks, starting off proceedings with a constantly switching rhythmic structure and a stop-start sweeping hoover stab panning between the speakers, descending bleeps and Avril's vocals cut into shapes and pushed through effects. Nyakinyua Rise races headlong into uncharted territory, with a fierce barrage of djembe drums over pounding bass, punchy war cries and jubilant uluations that paint a tension between hot aggression and weightless ecstasy. |
