Ital Tek - Dream Boundary - 7th August

[Pirtek]

'Dream Boundary' follows up Ital Tek's recent album 'Outland' with this short suite of tracks that were made during the same period but seemed to fall outside that album's remit.

 

On this EP things are less calm, more fiercely hallucinated. Contrasts are turned up and everything is covered in a layer of grime. Silence is used with sometimes disorientating aggression, riding across heavy drums, melodies tumbling, forced out of the near collapse.

Alan pls

 

Preview track is heavy. One minute its dark and brooding, then the next some beautiful icicle melodies shimmer in and the balance is restored.  Powerful use of pauses contrasted with pressured bass.  It hurts so much I feel like I am in a boomkat bio.  Thanks.

This also sounds lush.  I reckon together with the Outland album this will become a killer playlist.

 

Also, iTAL tEK has done an xlr8r podcast but its currently behind a paywall

Yeah, the first track on the xlr8r playlist is one of his. It's untitled/unreleased. Sounds good!

[Soloman Tump]

Out now! Really lush.  Burning a CDr with this and Outland on for my car trip tonight.

[Silent Member]

This is great stuff, prefer it to the album tbh

[Pirtek]

Agree! Would have been great if it was an album!!

I kept having to double check that I wasn't listening to a new Lorn EP. (This is a good thing.)

First time listening to this and this certainly rings true, LORN heads will love this. It really is a great back-to-back EP that fits nicely into these frozen mornings we're beginning to have in England.

[Soloman Tump]

I agree on the LORN comparison. Has that huge cinematic sound about it, but still understated and reigned in.  Somehow.

Thank you for mentioning Lorn, hadn't come across his work before.
