Anah – Floating EP

A hilariously dystopian yet also playful mood is instantly laid down on the latest ‘Floating’ EP by Anah – not least through its establishing record scratch, ‘gangster’ vox and electro fidget-saw. Admittedly, on first listen to this one, we hardly feel like we’re floating; more bandied about through the various belts and assemblies of an automatic perambulatory factory, unfortunately chewed up between the cogs in the process. Naturally, the A2 is called ‘Trapped’, and pares the dynamics back for a more Reese-heavy electro wake-up slap. Then on the B, two conclusive mixes of the track ‘Floating On Space’ are heard, one of which errs more interplanetary nigh gated-snarey and the other more chuggy verging on cosmic disco.
