Ex Libras - Suite(s)

Review by Simon Jay Catling

A three-piece that formed in a Hounslow library, they describe themselves as “post-breakbeat”, a term coined owing to their attachment of hip-hop beats to a panoramically instrumental sound. Suite(s), as well as being steeped in post-rock, is firmly indebted to the DJ Shadow/Aphex Twin apex that formed the basis of Thom Yorke and co’s leap from ‘apocalypse fearing rock band’ to ‘apocalypse fearing electronica ensemble’.»
