George Sarah - Min & Elsa [LP]

Limited twelve inch vinyl pressin. Electronic veteran George Sarah's three-track EP takes the electronic composer into a more mellow West Coast chillwave sound, with three instrumental tracks that are much more dance floor-friendly and optimistic than the at-times harsh onslaught of his previous release. Gentle beats, arpeggiated synths, sweeping pads, and piano make for a lovely listening experience on the title track "Min and Elsa," while "Reverence and Unknowing" references a bit of Sarah's dark industrial past. Side two's extended track "Forgotten Animals" has a driving, minimal feel evoking early 80's electronic music.
