Edges
Despite the skin-skimming name, Graze sink in deep. Fusing techno, garage, and the broken rhythms of contemporary bass, their eight-track full length LP rattles the ribcage - with a bittersweet bent. You can certainly hear each producer's hallmark: Marshall's brushed stainless steel drums and watery chords, Andersen's glowering sub bass and spine-tingling textures. They meet in the middle with their shared sense of swing, poised on the verge between jacking house and half-tempo swagger. But the project also represents an effort to look beyond club-music clichés. Their music has the kind of emotional weight and musical narrative that are all too rare these days.
