Roll Dann – The Black Orchard EP

With their new EP for Mord, Madrid meridian Roll Dann lets us down hard: "there's no clarity. there was never meant to be clarity." He's built a strong rep so far for stripped, pounding grooves, with atmos and intensity on equal footings. Now the balance is upset through seven yearning, yet mechanistic tracks, be they 'Echoes Of You' and 'Fading Lights', where the B's 'Paradox Of Desire' and 'Shadows Of Admiration' extend the scope towards metaphysical considerations.
