SOME LIGHTS (TRANSPARENT RED VINYL REPRESS)

A1. Some Lights B1. Skulls B2. Professor Grasstov Red Axes make a triumphant return to Phantasy with a further trio of expertly-crafted leftfield club tracks. Having produced several of the label™s best-loved club moments such as ˜Sipoor™ and ˜Sound Test™, the Israeli duo easily surpass their charismatic reputation across ˜Some Lights™. ˜Some Lights™ stomps forward to reveal the footprints of a rave giant, yet, even Red Axes at their most anthemic unfold the unexpected. Bleary-eyed chords stretch wistfully into the far-distance, as a male voice compounds the mood; šSunrise›. Suddenly, the Axes pull the rug and reveal the howling club wolf hidden behind the sheep™s dress code, plunging dancers into a heavy trip of vintage rave chords and EBM-drum play. The more psychedelically inclined will meanwhile find plenty to embrace in the wide, kaleidoscopic canyons of ˜Skulls™, a deeper-still groove machine that conjures up images of untamed sonic plains, Morricone-esque chords unexpectedly synthesised with psychobilin. Finally, ˜Professor Grasstov™ finds the duo loosening up into more playful form still, dragging the good name of this notable academic on a loose, breaks'y trip full of baggy energy (and complete with audible liquid experiments).
