Following “Conningham EP” Reach return with another uncompromising 12” from duo Thread. Dropping it’s predecessors unashamedly raw bashfulness, “Goldhawk EP” is a subtler, deeper affair yet it still maintains its bass heavy, electro leaning edge. The first track “Ellerslie” ets the tone for the EP, a trip through the cosmos, with shimmering synth lines taking you on a journey through the galaxy. Subtle variations float effortlessly on the driving rhythm patterns, the bassline only a distant presence. The 2nd cut “Sycamore” is another journey into the deep, a slightly more housey affair, a motorik drum patterns carrying an eerie, deep atmosphere that is punctuated by melodic patterns appearing unexpectedly. On the flip “The Grove” instantly works up a sweat - claps, dark synth riffs and a relentless drum pattern. Ferocious, in your face dance floor work out. Rounding-off the EP in style “Goldhawk” is the sparsest of the tracks on offer. Built on bare bones frame, there’s melodic flourishes, subtle production trickery, galloping along a 2 step-ish percussion pattern. Thread further cementing their eclectic production style with this strong EP.
