- Quantum Entanglement is a new collaboration between old friends. Lee Jones and Fin Greenall, AKA Fink, met at college in the early '90s, and were united by a shared love of chess and Aphex Twin. Releasing an album as E.V.A. On Kickin' Records in '95, they eventually went their separate ways, but remained close. Two decades later and they're back, making deep, textured techno under a new guise, Quantum Entanglement.
Divided into "Heads" and "Tails," the EP presents two versions of the same song. The former is tougher and more direct, with stark, ashen synths repeatedly descending over sturdy kicks and claps. As the track starts to wind down, heavily modulated shimmers and delayed chords emerge, sending us out in a downwards spiral of emotion. "Tails" picks up the emotive trail, opening with a sparse, eerie landscape of fractured knocks and pads. Soon, the same patterns re-emerge, though this time tickled by a new shooting-star synth line and underpinned by softer drums. The result is less imposing and more beautiful than "Heads."
