Wasteland

'Granular' is Tony Tyson's third release on his imprint Cortex Recordings. Whereas predecessor 'Toro' featured a wide range of influences, 'Granular' has a more singular focus on darker moods and atmospheres. The title track is squarely aimed at the dance floor with its hypnotic, evolving bass riff which meshes tightly with rhythmic noise and simple but effective drums. 'Cold Light' starts with a frantic pace and a biting acid bassline. Majestic synthesizer strings shine their cold light on the breakdown and combined with the other parts, they make for a dramatic final act. Closing track 'Wasteland' is a more experimental, lower paced cut with a cinematic atmosphere. An idiosyncratic kick drum rhythm and haunting drones provide the backdrop on which classic drum machine sounds take the lead.
