Roe Deers - Lumberjack EP

Roe Deers’ relatively sparse discography to date is quietly impressive, with the pair flitting between mind-altering slow house, psychedelic electronic chuggers, and feverish fare rich in dense, tribal-influenced drums. The three original cuts showcased on the Lithuanian act’s first Throne of Blood outing are similarly eccentric. Check first the weirdo guitars, dub disco bass, jumpy electronics and organic house drums of ‘Lost Again’, before examining the dark and driving creepiness of trippy throb-job ‘Young Cats’ and the filthy, arpeggio-driven intensity of brain-melting highlight ‘Machine’. Remixes are provided of all three cuts, with Jonathan Kusuma’s proto-house-goes-dark-disco rub of ‘Machine’, and Club Tularosa’s Acid Arab-esque tweak of ‘Young Cats’ standing out.
