Deadcrow 'Light Trails' EP (Terrorhythm)
More widescreen, cinematic club music courtesy of Plastician’s Terrorhythm imprint, as Deadcrow returns to the label after his 2016 debut ‘Night Wonder’. Although ‘Light Trails’ pays homage to the Wave movement (an online community of producers skewing grime and cloud-wave rap), it certainly isn’t defined by it, as the bright, sci-fi fantasy of the opening ‘Viper’ suggests. There are signature booming trap patterns throughout (see ‘Strayed’), while the beautiful, hi-def melodies Deadcrow seems to have made his calling card come alive on standout track ‘Blade’. This is a sparkling intro to a promising beatmaker.
