Review

Très euro, this latest Vector Lovers EP. 'Ping Pong' has nothing to do with the Stereolab track of some fame, or with China's most popular sport - I'm typing this hours before the opening of the Olympic games in Beijing. 'Ping Pong' is a surprisingly straightforward Italo vs Münich clash of styles. Euphoric, yet not exquisite in spite of its immediate appeal. Next, 'Pin Tweaks' isn't just a cryptic play, on David Lynch's eerie TV-series, that you wished you would have thought out yourself. In fact the track lives up to a particular sense of clichéd voodoo culture. The beats skid at the beginning, only to build a mysterious rhythm which is pointy and lateral at the same time. The closing track 'Reminisce' is a fluent ride upon which clickhouse, club music and this epic quality meet. Very much an after party release; the recommended moment of the day to listen to this would be dawn.

Track Listing:-

1 Ping-Pong
2 Pin Tweaks
3 Reminisce
