It opens with what sounds like an ice cream van tune played on pizzicato strings them glitched up. Some steel pan (I don't know, you wait twenty years for an underground dance record with a steel pan on and then two come along seemingly at once...) adds flavour before an increasingly pitch-shifted vocal makes for an unsettled mood.
The track stays spartan and reserved until some sub-bass enters the mix, locking into a tight minimal groove. Then we're treated to some chocolatey, langorous cello before we get a half-time pass at the minimal groove.
It definitely has a kinship with Jamie xx's productions but it's a highly engaging and original sound.
