TRACK REVIEW: Analogue Blood – Equinox EP

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be forcefully given hallucinogens and then shoved straight into a psychedelic vortex? You have? That’s a weird thing to wonder in your free time, but you’ll be happy to know that Analogue Blood’s newest EP, Equinox, is as close as you’ll get to this feeling.

This five-track EDM project is full of distorted guitar loops, punchy drums that’ll go mano-a-mano with your ears, juxtaposing with the hypnotic vocal samples spliced throughout. Some of the vocal layering synergises with the clean production of the EP really well, such as the electrifying Hypnotize, but on tracks like opener Celestial Equator it slightly misses the mark – having an odd vocal effect and being too quiet in the mix.
