Premiere: B1 – Montei – No parecen diez [PRYM007]

Argentinian label Pyrma keeps up its fine streak of releases with its seventh outing on wax, this time featuring co-owner Montei for a four-track EP. The record marks another addition to the label’s catalogue, with Montei taking the lead once again for some good stuff we’re going to discover now.

Our premiered track, “No Parecen Diez” on B1 takes a laid-back approach, leaning on echoed percussion and leads. Drifting lead sounds create plenty of space throughout, giving the track a hazy, hypnotic feel without losing its sense of movement.

“Exprés” opens the EP with a slightly eerie atmosphere, built around spooky arpeggios, crisp electro percussion and syncopated basslines. The interplay between the elements gives the track a restless character, with its off-kilter rhythm keeping the groove unpredictable.

“Dónde Estay” on A2 brings together an earthy analogue bassline and a low-pitched vocal, set against an arrangement that balances analogue warmth with more digital textures. Puzzling chords add an unusual edge, while a steady groove holds everything together.

“Enough” closes the EP on B2 with modular percussion, bringing a familiar sound into a different perspective. Sitting somewhere between minimal and electro, the track builds its character through intricate details and unexpected twists.

“Enough” EP is available for order on Lirica Archives.
