We shared a living space with Bobby Dowell on a Spring Field Trip. Ever since we are sure of two things, there need to be more vending machines in Casino Hotels and, more importantly, Bobby Dowell is capable of creating the most cerebral and powerful electronic music imaginable. We consider ourselves privileged to work with such a prodigy.

The title track is a living, breathing, stalking creature hell-bent on abomination. Shift is quite literally a metamorphoses of form and structure. Nothing is static, all is growth and maturation. The beast beats through rhythm and punctuation only to allow itself innumerable size and stature through whips and cracks of static and wails.

If this song is A Perfect Shade of Dark, that shade is not the blackest of black. Dowell creates a soundscape of a full spectrum of color, bleeding red and purging grey. Although the emphasis is on the nightmare, you are plunged in the power of the dream. This is the soundtrack to hope all through the drumming of your heart.

Corrosion is the disintegration of the definition of techno. Although the form is there, the pits and cracks in the final product allow beauty in the meltdown. Relying heavily on vocal stabs and syncopated gasps, this weapon brings you right back to a deep delve into your own subconsciousness.

Rounding out the Extended Play is deep distress Signal. Signal acts as a plethora of airwaves swarming into the sky fighting for connection, fighting for flight. We find ourselves not entrenched in the deep layers of the earth, but above it, floating through the clouds. Signal is the calm behind the storm, the beauty in the darkness.
