New Jinjé as he finds himself a little bit shakey on 'Traces & Tremors EP' with Earthly Measures on this 5-track EP.
On the edge of WOMAD, Earthly Measures follows up Léna C's 'Stimuli' (see review HERE) with some earth shakers on this new EP, 'Traces & Tremors' by Jinjé (aka Lee J. Malcolm) who has been working on his house/techno for over ten years or so.
So after releases on Mesh, Handy Records, Messrs Kick & Drum and more including his own label, Making Friends, he returns to Earthly Measures is a little bit of a surprise as the five tracks are aimed as much for the heaphones as they are the dancefloor.
Kicking off with 'Tokyoto', for all us Japanophiles, that's just perfect in disguise as a spiritual harp meets bicycle wheel/pump experimentation (Ed. one for Nick Luscombe - see HERE) at the pace of a bullet train: definitely dancefloor as opposed to temple meditation gong.
Kyoto Jazz massive need to up their game to match that one. And the rest of the tracks have that electronic-jazz shuffle with the benefit of taking Mo Kolours' love to mixing rhythms from around, the world like Afrobeat, Afrofolk, Highlife that sound like they were 'found' foud in the 60s; predominately the recent single, 'Kush' (8th May) and 'Give A Pluck (22nd May): both seven minutes long with African Savanah tribal chanting.
If you like "woozy hypnotic", 'I Am If You Are' gets back to harp-sythn wave machine dreaming before the very out-there "woozy hypnotic movement" of Dark Moons completes the set.
