Temples

Rwina's latest release comes courtesy of the Netherlands' Joeri Woudstra, aka Torus, who has previously released on London-based label Sonic Router. On the opener "Ethereal," distant vocals, synth ostinati, drum patterns, and heavily 'verbed claps sit under a pulsing 808. "U R" teases a chordal motif before opening out into a sparse ballad, as slow-moving pads and infinite reverb harmonics provide a bed for thudding low end. "Creepin" and "2 Faced" bring things back to earth with thudding kick and snare combos in a woozy ode to purple drank fuelled by southern hip-hop.
