Artist(s): Conoley Ospovat
Title: Transcontinental Trip
Label: CDRIFT.029 | Continental Drift Records 6
Styles: House Deep, Minimal
Opening with a jazzy, atmospheric strut, Transcontinental Trip’s title track sets the tone for this record as a more driving, bassline-focused affair than some of Ospovat’s recent downtempo excursions.
The taut restraint & open air vibe of loose drumming & field recordings for Hold On feel like a nonchalant response to Ricardo’s Sei Es Drum.
Then Conoley’s attention to melody & clever programming comes to the fore again on Sunbreaks. The tune is a moody dance floor builder full of twists & turns, before the EP closes out with the carbonated haze of Pacific Coast Rain.
