Our 10th EP release welcomes a creative colleague and close friend. With a number of diverse releases under various aliases, the more personal projections of George Hickman’s latest work has precipitated the dawn of a fitting new project: George.
Strange Ways…
A vivid body of work that triggers euphoric and melancholic sentiment in synergy. Exploring playfully-improvised harmony, rhythm and flow, this touching 3-track EP feels both innately human and otherworldly. Opening proceedings is ‘Recall’; an energetic showcase of George’s knack for crisp drum programming, flourishing melodies and engulfing chords. Following on is ‘Against Better Judgement’, a deeply reflective ambient piece which places thoughtful dialogue in an immersive atmosphere. ‘Strange Ways’ appropriately closes the EP with its tight groove, textures and melodic experimentation.
