Rivet ‎– Driftwood

2013 Increasingly Seems To Become A Busy Year For The Skudge Camp. But what you gonna do when your artists keep sending you gems after gems? Well, Rivet gives us little choice, we just had to release this EP as soon as possible as it probably catches the spirit of what we consider the most relevant stuff around. If the concept behind the Driftwood EP can be traced back to an old Swedish theater OST from the 80ies, what you get is probably Rivet's most floor bending material ever. Filled with evil lurking storms of the most timeless kind, the journey starts with a bang as Driftwood crosses over the whole dance music spectrum, taking cues from funk, post-punk, Manchester and Chicago house, certainly a challenging bridge-building approach. Crane Dance follows a more sinister path with its witchy incantations carving a somewhat demonic take on house, a mesmerizing cascade of beats and eerie pads. Lastly, Line of Moments brings us some apparently more mellow grounds filled with melancholic strings soon to be revealed as deceivingly acidic chimeras. All in all an EP that we take great pride in presenting to your ears! Cheers, Skudge
