The opening track from this special collaborative EP from London-based artists TSVI and Loraine James says it all: 'Gloom'. Created during the third and most depressing lockdown we had last year, as the pair shared a space in the same Hackney studios, this is the sound of two artists trying to find light during a very dark time and the results speak for themselves. The delicate pianos and industrial strength beats of 'Gloom', the scattershot breakbeats and tension of 'Awaiting', the rising-but-barbed optimism of 'Eternal', the ploughman cosmic techno of 'Observe' and the rays of hope on the finale 'Trust' are all the product of a moment in history and a reflection of how the pair made the best of their time. Unique.
