Eaux - i

Review by Sean Adams

An EP for fans of Chromatics... It drifts and trickles and then swells in a semi-meditative manner, and yet feels like a cousin of dance music that had an aunt that was massively into sound installation art. On each of the tracks here, Eaux take the gentle grace of various recent ambient and drone movements and fuse them with something that widescreen and euphoric. There’s elements of Oneohtrix Point Never off-setting the spiralling fizz of Factory Floor and Fuck Buttons. There’s that similar chill and a made-you-gasp awe you can also hear on tracks from Fever Rey to White Hinterland to Kate Wax and beyond. »
