John Barnes - Slims
Following Mithraics (from November 2022) and Euroene (March 2023), Slims, the third track from the Welsh producer Sam Arnold, is out today and provides the perfect opportunity to pick up all three in this tidy release.
Previously I described his music as "landing somewhere between Dean Hurley, Crystal Castles, Scandinavian Star and Romance".
Arnold explains the inspiration behind the music:
The thing that connects the new tracks are field recordings that I recorded from Berlin a few years ago. The sounds of the early morning U-Bahn and the overgrown disused Spreepark fairground were the inspiration, and the field recordings seep in and out of all three tracks
