Greg Fenton reviews Instruments Of Rapture – Certain Realities – Instruments Of Rapture
There’s always a twist in the tale, new ways to tell the same story if only you take the time to look. I get that feeling from Make It Right, which opens this EP, channelling a sense of history through a contemporary prism that isn’t quite old or massively futuristic, yet fizzes with freshness. You can hear hints of soulful Disco/AOR running through the music, lending the summer season an easy groove that captivates you.
The Way Down introduces a funkier bassline reminiscent of Ashley Ingram’s work with Imagination, finding its joyful path in this equally enjoyable, low-slung number, leaving the sizzling hi-hats of Keep U Going to work up a warm melody of vocals, heavy rhythms, and cool piano, into yet more commanding music – the sting is in the end.
