Muted piano chords, a delicate minimal beat and a subtle bassline. “Exile” is a quietly self-assured track which is given the re-work treatment on the new “Exile EP” from Forensics.
The original “Exile” track is on there, but the real treat is the vocal version which features Indi Kaur. Her choral articulations sitting beautifully over the track, as if they had been intended from the word go.
There are two other remixes on the EP.
The first by “Phaeleh” is a bleak wintery soundscape of synths, clicks and well crafted beats, as well as a melodious line which adds to the atmosphere.
The second is from “Not In My Name” which is apparently maestro Threnody and some cohorts. Their orchestral, stuttering and more synth-line driven re-work managed to shed new light on the melody as well as provide something seemingly more upbeat than the other pieces on the EP.
The Exile EP is a fantastic example of Forensics’ ability to not only craft a track from a small number of stems, but also to bring together an EP of such wealth from just a few producers.
Currently the EP is exclusive to Digital-tunes – but you can always find out more from the man himself.
