For the next musical offering by London based producer Shawn Cartier, he delves into a different sound across 2 tracks, which mould his existing hard hitting electro centric tracks with a more modern and emotive framework, slowing down the pace and raising the energy.
The release opens with “Lemon” which is the more melodic of the 2 tracks. Rich arpeggiated synth lines rip through quirky mystical pads while all being grounded by a pumping rhythm section. This track also features Shawn’s keen use of sampling as seen by the progressive guitar section to close off the composition.
The last track “Revival Police” adds a ripe dancefloor functionality to the release. Huge warping bass tones and dancing aquatic melodies meet with a wailing 303 to complete this one. One for the middle of a set to get the arms in the air.
Created in Goa, India, without the benefit of a studio, “Serpentine” is an adrenaline shot to the heart—relentlessly joyous dance music. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 12, 2022
