Review: IDIOR - Idiom Retriever EP (Ramrock Noir Records)

The debut EP by Welsh artist, IDIOR will appeal to my more experimental/ leftfield presenters. It's found its spiritual home on Ramrock Noir Records!

Ramrock returns to the darkside after Darren Morris' Union II' album (see review HERE) with IDIOR, a 16 year old experimental musician from Swansea, Wales weaving elements of Electronica, Jazz, and Avant-Garde into his debut EP, ‘Idiom Retriever’. 

The EP features 3 tracks, all presenting the dense, ambient, eerie sound he’s been improvising in his bedroom for years. All of IDIOR’s work is formed from guitar loops created with a pedal board and a loop pedal with no exceptions. No matter how deranged or deformed certain parts of the EP may sound, stripped back they’re all done on guitar.
 
The EP is inspired by a deep love and appreciation for music such as electronica and African rhythms which usually lie out of reach for guitarists, however through experimenting IDIOR feels he has been able to weave these influences into the sound of his wonderful EP ‘Idiom Retriever’
 
Recorded, Mixed and co-produced by Rich Thair at Buntys Studio, Swansea.

Mastered by Darren Morris at North Street West studio, Hastings.
