Surrender! 'Voyage EP' (La Bombe)
Having released their excellent (if slightly lopsided) self-titled debut album almost fours years ago, Turkish production outfit Surrender! return to Sharooz’s La Bombe imprint with three tracks of dazzling French electro. The whole EP hits like a howitzer, with ‘Gynoid’ doing the damage early on. It’s full of driving 80s attitude and dripping with lush, neon melodies, intricate sampling and slamming drums lines. ‘Wild Dancer’ is equally as enthralling, combining jagged synths with chopped vocal samples and fractured drum patterns. And last but not least, ‘Centaur’ is all twinkling top lines and sweeping, doughy pads acting as the perfect cleanser to finish off a highly impressive EP.
