Sten - The Essence

(Dial) CD & 2LP
Better late than never? This 2008 release needs some recognition… Sten aka Lawrence runs Dial Records, the label responsible for brilliant releases from both Pantha Du Prince & Efdemin over the last 18 months. The Essence is soothing & simple in execution, employing eerily familiar rhythms & tones, all laced with subtle melancholia that keeps this feeling human each time you venture into it’s deep blue waves. A sleek house excursion that often recalls the dark atmospherics of The Knife’s Silent Shout.
