NIGHT BUS - PASSENGER

The record weaves together electronic pulses and wave-rock guitars, nodding to New Order (Angels Mortz), broken-beat UK garage and fleeting rave echoes (Somewhere, Nowhere), occasionally sliding into acid tones (Ascension) or, more canonically, into a melodic catharsis à la The XX or Slowdive. Landslide rewinds the clock to a Joy Division-style dance floor, only to dissolve it into a dreamy haze; Host, instead, takes the Bristol route — febrile and narcotic.
