PREMIERE: Elektro Guzzi - Solar [Palazzo Recordings]
Not one, not two, not three, not four, our premiere for the day comes via the 11th album from a trio known as Elektro Guzzi. Based out of Vienna, the band has built an impressive catalog of instrument driven electronica that grabs your ear and doesn’t let go. For over a decade they’ve been honing the sound, and precision necessary to excel, rare is an electronic band like this, and rarer still a club forward one.
Liquid Center, from cover to cover showcases the breadth of their productions, from thumping peak time techno, to moody downtempo. Hitting all the stops in between. Rhythmic percussion and warm bass lines provide the base for most of this release. Each track building and building, highlighting the slight variations that can only come from a human source. Such a treat.
Solar, appearing towards the end of the album, provides a slow, chugging, groovy vibe. Carried by crisp percussion, the track develops with a restrained attitude, element after element. Steady on, steady on. Nonchalantly swelling with melody in a few peak moments before dissolving gracefully into its base components.
Solar, and in turn Liquid Center will be released on October 24th.
