Lithuanian label Coral Riffs return with another curveball release from label boss Statecoral, a séance of broken machines, a soft exorcism through patch cables and phantom frequencies.
The three-track EP channels the foggy pulse of underwater nostalgia with custom drum kits, OB-X whispers and sighing synths. Statecoral doesn’t allow for easy genre classification. His music flickers between cosmic disco, broken beats, and what we’ll call ‘ghost wave’.
Our pick ‘Animism‘ opens with mechanised chugs and decoded dreams that stretch into reverberated pockets of hyperreal ambience. Leftfield percussive jabs stutter in from the spirit world, while FX-drenched synths ooze and bubble like molten neon. Just when you think you’re alone, vocals slip in, warped and whispering, guiding the track into second life: resulting in a spiralling dub beat.
‘Felt This Way Before’ EP is scheduled for release on 21st May via Coral Riffs. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
