Blade & Beard 'Frozen Echo' (FUTURIST)
The stars of the 2016 documentary Raving Iran, Blade & Beard are two men who battled to put on parties playing the music they love, and for that they get our utmost respect. This new EP is a peach, with ‘Frozen Echo’ typifying the kind of brooding darkness you may expect from the duo. This one will lift the roof off when the breakdown hits; it’s got an air of Afterlife while also featuring a distinctly Middle Eastern premise.
8/10
