Elzéard “Cosmic Dust”


So far, From Them Depths has prided itself on the beautifully oddball side of electronica. Or as head honcho Charles Drakeford summed up, these are the records “that you put in not knowing when exactly it might work. But then when you’re looking for something to take a set in a different direction it’s there ready and waiting”. Lutto Lento took a brave left step into the esoteric realms on FTD001, while Niagara’s two-tracker follow up sounded like a golden-era Can demo reel.

Release número tres is again, mesmerically out there — a split release by two brothers from Paris: Elzéard and Moana. The former grapples the reins on the A side with “Cosmic Dust” acting as fulcrum between A1 and A3. It’s appropriately cosmos-reaching in its timbre; built open driving four-four and cushiony pad synths that are eventually aided by tincan percussion prods. It’s efficient and stimulating in simplicity, just like the accompanying video by Sasha Litvintseva. Go taste the rainbow.

FTD003 is out on September 23; pre order it here.
