This accessible, bass-driven offering should appeal to all electronic music fans to some extent – occasionally even drawing on a folktronica sound. However, given its shift in tone between a dance and chill-out release, it never fully settles into a singular mood. The standout title track's marching melody mingles with laser sounds and garbled vocals, which result in an upbeat, otherworldly feel – The X-Files set in a club. Meanwhile, the funk vibe of Welterweight recalls late '90s electronica in the vein of New Order's Blue Monday. At times understated, this bright, intricate EP is undeniably solid.
