Tokyo Sapphire Slows makes her debut for the always impeccable Nous imprint and their new series mundus, with four exquisitely delicate, abstract studies in synthetic science. Opener The Role of Purity is a mesmirising 11 plus minutes that drifts around in its own somnolent, stuporific terrain, gently fusing ambient devices into a seamless soundtrack. The B side sees a brace of slightly bolshier offerings in the form of Speculation and Mallets & Marbles in which Sapphire Slows allows her machines to feel more mutinous, all the while savouring the sophistication of their euphony. The EP comes to a close with Silent Escape translucently stalking the eerie cosmos of electronica, outwardly tender, inwardly ferocious.
