The Lights EP – Sinjin Hawke

Last month Sinjin Hawke put out this EP and it’s great. Not because every song sounds perfect, but because he’s really pushing things forward. Every song contains so many ideas, it’s often overwhelming. Take my favourite track, Crystal Dust. On the one side you have Hudson Mohawke brashness with a massive brass loop, and then the other half of the song is silky smooth. And this isn’t just head-scratching experimentation for geeks, as shown by the ridiculous track which comes straight after, The Ballad Of Martyn Bootyspoon. Despite it’s flaws, this EP shows a lot of talent, and I can’t wait to see where he goes with it.
