Fusing an amalgam of psybient textures and motifs, glitch fundamentals, and rapacious rhythms, the French producer Kyrian Nicolay-Kritter has spent the better part of the last 8 years chipping away at the creative clay of his musicianship. Consequently, The Rust is incredibly proud to host the most recent results of his on-going audiophiliac designs and compositions; the four track Puzzled EP.
Oozing with stereophonic synthesis, syncopated percussive runs, and crystal clear fidelity, Puzzled begins and ends with distinct modes and striking harmony. With the EP’s pendulum swinging from weighty to weightless and back again, each song sits in its own dedicated lane, filling out the release with succinct grip of sound design and emulsive songwriting. Written with fans of downtempo, scintillating productions in mind, Ekorce’s Puzzled EP is guaranteed to become a mainstay in any curated listening rotation.
