King Of Woolworths - Dew Point, February 25, 2011
This review is from: Dew Point Ep (Audio CD)
The terribly underrated King of Woolworths deliver their DEW POINT EP, which only further shows how neglected they've been. The stoically beautiful "This is Radio Theydon" has a majestic grandeur in the way the beats and bass lift up the building piano lines. "Sunken Fields" is more dancefloor-oriented, but the odd vocodered spoken word piece adds a certain mystery to the funk. "Tone Poem" is a call from a spy movie, while "Take the Strain" is enough to put Burt Bacharach to shame (but with rhythm). There might be an overreliance on samples here, but they aren't the end-all and be-all of the tracks; instead, the samples are like aural gravy, coating and enhancing what is actually the good stuff.
