AGF - Solid

  • Share
  • Now in the self-sufficient digital release phase of her long career, AGF, AKA Antye Greie-Ripatti, seems more prolific than ever, having put out at least four releases through Bandcamp this year. And while most of that music falls into an experimental category, Solid sees her dipping back into a more club-friendly style of loops and rhythms. The EP's highlight, "I-Tikka," is a rework of "MOSQU-ito" from her recent album, SOLIDCITY. This version splices mosquito buzzes, frenzied chromatic tics, electronic string passes and a solid bassline into a bundle of nervous energy. It's difficult to tell if other tracks on the EP also mine the same album, but given the similarity of the releases' titles and the speed in which one followed the other, it's plausible. Each track has loops constructed from what sounds like a concrète jumble of field recordings. But the cyclical structure provides a thread to follow, which makes this EP a more enjoyable—if still challenging—listening experience.
