    RB: "It's divisive, having 'Osla For N' and 'Newbound' back-to-back, because I can see they've been out for a few weeks now, so there are a lot of people digging up stuff about them, and again it's splitting the camps wide open. In my view all the right people are saying 'Osla For N' is weird, it's cool. It's quite unassuming at first, but it's a bit of a disarmer. I heard someone describe it today as coughing - digital coughing - as in chesty coughs… 'Osla For N' is sort of a really good danger zone before you're on the home-straight…

  2. Ok so I spent a good while last night trying to wrap my head around this release. Late to the game, but whatever.

     

    Firstly, great vinyl pressing, cannot fault that. It is also great that it fits inside the Exai vinyl box.

     

    Musically, I can understand why some people initially did not like Osla for N, the coughing beat is a bit grating but IMO it works, especially at the track breaks down towards the end.

     

    I actually really like Newbound, a distinctive melody and some crushing beats, kinda nightmare-ish vibes from this one.

     

    Tac Lacora is a great opener and the much celebrated "silent moment" really hits home hard - silence in a busy track always sounds great.

     

    Probably more thoughts later as it starts to sink in.

    Overall I like it, glad they got back to making a shorter (more concise) EP again. Hope they follow it up with another EP someday.

  3. Just rang up my local record store, and they put me a 12" aside. Gonna stroll in there tomorrow and hand over some hard cash.

    They also sell really good coffee, and will hopefully have some other cool stuff too.

     

     

    Much more satisfying than ordering from blerp!
