Transience [12" Vinyl]

Iglo - Transience [12" Vinyl]

Promising label newcomer IGLO returns to Figure with his second EP, building on a distinct sonic identity shaped by a background in classical music and live performance. Across five tracks, he further refines his mix of atmospheric depth, precise rhythms, and melodic nuance. This time, his own voice takes on a more central role, adding a personal and expressive layer to the productions. On opener "Computed Love," restrained, longing vocals blend into squelchy synths and minimal grooves -- hauntingly beautiful, yet gritty with rumbling machine funk. Determined follows with a more menacing tone, its sharp percussion cutting through a bleak, shadowy atmosphere -- perfect for building tension on the floor. On the flip, IGLO switches up the mood: "Enter the State" runs on hypnotic loops and chopped-up piano riffs, peppered with cheeky, spoken-word style vocals that nod to ghetto house traditions. It breaks into an irresistible, swinging groove that hits with full force. Offering a smooth counterpoint, "Enlighten" drifts into dubby terrain. Soft, ricocheting vocal snippets and warm chords conjure a hopeful, human glow -- a bouncy balm for the soul, without losing its forward momentum. With X49, IGLO deepens his connection with Figure and sharpens his unique voice -- equally grounded in introspection and dancefloor impact, continuing to shape a sound that's thoughtful, bold, and marks him as one to watch.
