Aphex Twin – Windowlicker

• EP Vinyl

RELEASE DATE: 7/28/2017

DESCRIPTION

Quite unlike anything else he’s ever done, “Windowlicker” is perhaps the most accessible and dancefloor-friendly track Richard D James has ever created. A simple, gurgling riff paired with childishly sung vocals and thrown over straight-up 4/4 beats, groaning and developing, the bizarre sonics straining to burst through the shackles of form and expectation. “Formula” provides unexpected blasts of sound, lengthy breaks, explosive aspirates – it seems to escape and transcend this very plane of existence. “Nannou” is a chilling lullaby, minor-key themes that evoke thoughts of traditional melodies while percussion seemingly made out of household trappings ground it in the everyday.
