Following the blistering inaugural release from Talker comes the second release on the Standards & Practices imprint from label co-founder Jonathan -Stave- Krohn, who returns with 5 tracks of dark, visceral electronic music for the discerning listener. -Black Hills- and -TASC US- kick off the proceedings in fine style – pummeling drums underpinning harsh blasts of noise and bleak, greyscale atmospherics, while -In/Human- and -B5- on the flip take a different approach – 2 tracks not aimed at the dancefloor, but both retaining that cold, claustrophobic feel that characterizes much of Stave s work. The brooding and sinister -Stave 17- closes the EP, moving into exciting new territory with an intensely cinematic sound.
