Increasingly dextrous producer Raffertie drops his 2nd EP for Ninja Tune, following the excellent 'Visual Acuity' session. In our books he's one of the label's brightest electronic talents, consistently forging his own identity with a keen sense of soul and broad scope. We can hear this from the off in the title track, a frayed and knotted piece of futurist electro-soul with crisp yet elastic contours and appreciation of spatial dynamics. However, the ten minute 'One Track Mind' takes a more epic route, tripping on transfixing kosmische vectors and technoid bass tipped for any fans of the Border Community lot, while 'Brevity' folds up an impressive electro sound design shades away from Lando Kal's recent killers. To conclude 'Courage Boy' introduces his own vocals again, albeit as faded comtrail traces of wispy soul weaved into a glitching, broken-down and ghostly version of that James Blake sound.
