neuschul FLOODED
__________________________
Neuschul are an electronic production duo formed of brothers Luke and Sam Norland. The name Neuschul pays homage to their grandfather’s original surname, translating as New School. His skill and vision as a painter helped inspire their own explorations into music and art. Luke's classical music background and Sam's experience as a producer and sound designer combine delightfully to result in a moody and ethereal seven-track EP that is inspired by the brothers' love for experimental electronic music in the vein of Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Nicolas Jaar.
'Flooded' and 'Stay Open' feature the vocal talents of Michelle Denny who's delicate, RnB-inspired approach gels perfectly with the rich textured, ambient beats. 'Flooded' indolently pulsates in and out of life with its heavy bass while 'Stay Open' has a darker, sharper and more bouncy vibe. 'Gravity' is a highlight of the EP with its cloudy, Clams Casino-like production; a hazy synth pad evolves and mutilates before giving way to a tight, tumbling percussion loop. 'Submerge' is the most dance floor-ready of the tracks on the EP with its addictive bass line and deep house-style drum breaks.
Neuschul's production across the EP is at once pristine and grungy and altogether very precise.
