Producer MLVVLN drops a new EP titled ARCHDRUID a day early- mixing together ambient soundscapes, hard hitting drums, bent 808s, spacious keys, Boom Bap and Trap all into a series of seven songs. “Chairing Of The Bard (Never)” teeters between New Age meditative music and distant Trap, stuttering hi hats tinker in and out of syncopation while distorted strings float over a ominous 808 bass line. The track elevates into a climax when jarring, yet mellow, vocals come in chanting in a haunting loop that both excites and eases the listener. “Y Prifardd” – a title we have no shame in admitting ignorance of- keeps the ambiance but exchanges Trap for Boom Bap in the percussion department. “Prose Medal” has the spirit of Soul sample chops akin to 9th Wonder but keeps with the musical theme and spacey soundscape of the EP with additions of a terrestrial bass line and extra-terrestrial sped up indecipherable vocal sample. “Golden Torc (R.I.P. Tone)” is haunting and beautiful, immediately hitting the listener with chords and tones that deeply resonate, the feeling in this instrumental does more than lyrics ever could. ARCHDRUID is truly a brilliant instrumental EP, mellow, inventive, unique and completely cohesive. Listen below:
