Bicep: Just EP – 12-INCH SINGLE

Aus Music follows releases from Breach (AUS 1578EP), Huxley (AUS 1469EP), and Bwana (AUS 1577EP) with an offering from Irish duo and long-term label affiliates Bicep. The Just EP follows self-released collaborations with Ebony and Midland, and is an impassioned bundle of broken beats, shimmering synth lines, and rapturous piano chords. The title-track suffuses a broken kick and snare combo with a poignant sequence and heart-rending synth strings. Celeste lays a soft, filtered croon over a swelling piano motif before Back 2 U (Tranz Dub) drives a tough, gravelly kick under gentle flecks of acid and rich, sweeping pads.
