TRACK REVIEW: Anthony Pears – White Jezus EP

This four track EP is the first release by Newcastle-based producer Anthony Pears on his own label, AénT Records. Pears’ eclectic tastes come through strongly, making this EP – his third release since the start of the year – hard to pigeonhole.

Well-produced and atmospheric, the four tracks flow well together, evoking an intense late-night mood, combining elements of house, techno and even industrial music. The opening title track evokes the ambience of a ‘90s underground club night, while Lord Have Mercy has a hypnotic trance feel to it. In contrast, standout track Revolution is pleasingly reminiscent of Kraftwerk, while 5D concludes the EP with a rare Pears vocal over a trippy backing that harks back to late ‘80s industrial techno.
