OUT NOW: Phase i, Mount XLR’s debut EP.
Mount XLR’s music feels 3D: a throbbing entity, gritty and alive. There is a constant sense of tension and release both across the EP and within the individual tracks. From the ambient intro, built from the voice of
@sleeep__sheeep sampled and mapped onto a synth, through faster BPMs, to a moment of introspection in the collaboration with UK artist
@t.barlo and finally culminating in an outro which perfectly encapsulates the two sides of the record, the EP flows with the precision of a DJ set, its transitions sharp and precise. Deeply influenced by UK music (especially bass, post-dubstep, and garage), Phase i feels both like a nod to the sounds of a decade ago and a contemporary response to them, at the same time drawing from the harder, punchier textures favoured in Seoul’s current scene.
Mount XLR의 음악은 마치 3D처럼 살아 움직이는, 거칠고도 맥동하는 존재감을 지닌다. 이 EP 전체와 각 트랙에는 끊임없는 긴장과 해소가 교차한다.
@sleeep__sheeep 의 목소리를 샘플링해 신시사이저에 맵핑한 앰비언트 인트로에서 시작해, 빠른 BPM의 전개를 거쳐, 영국 아티스트
@t.barlo 와의 협업에서 보여주는 내면적인 순간으로 이어지며, 결국에는 레코드의 양면성을 완벽히 담아내는 아웃트로로 마무리된다. 이 EP는 DJ 세트처럼 정교하게 흐르며, 전환은 날카롭고 정밀하다. 영국 베이스, 포스트 덥스텝, 개러지 등 UK 사운드에 깊이 영향을 받으면서도, 동시에 서울 언더그라운드 신이 선호하는 강렬하고 직설적인 질감을 끌어와, Phase i는 10년 전의 사운드에 대한 오마주이자 그에 대한 동시대적 응답으로 자리한다.
