- Tief at Corsica Studios has quietly become one of London's best nights. In its first foray as a label, it hands a debut to the Sisterhood duo of Harry Benson and John Malcolm Moore. "Call Me Ishmael" has twinkling arps and muffled keys that flicker with a steel drum-like resonance, with guttural bass synths providing contrast. It's impressively three-dimensional, with perceptible light and shade. Arttu's remix is hewn from tougher material, with blobs of acid, snatches of vocal samples and a distorted bassline pushed upfront.
"Tannhauser" is more plaintive, with Detroit-y melodies, chattering percussion and a purring analogue sound reminiscent of Boards Of Canada. In contrast, Juju & Jordash's mix sits somewhere between deep house and minimalist techno, seeping out over six minutes of ambient tics, pillowy electric piano and urgent hi-hats. It's an EP of wonderfully melodic, well-rounded music—especially for a debut release.
