Another smasher from Nous, this time courtesy of Cofaxx, AKA Joseph Magee and his boundlessly breathtaking Pico Vu EP, a seven tracker that manages to cover immense ground and knowledge within a compact narrative. And each track is a mandatory component of this cleverly assembled story with startling standouts such as Dicey a deep Detroity piece, layering into a Sound Signaturey space, while LA s seasoned producer Brown Irvin closes side 1 with a bolshier bash at opening track Tide Pool s ambient, semi-conscious swirlings. Over on the flip Velvet is all golden era electronica stylings, early days Warp and Planet E on a lingering dinner date, while Shape to Fade in s smoky textures straddle irridescent sounds for a not-out-of-place jazzy backroom style builder.
