The Thunder EP is the first release from Chicago Skyway, aka Sean Hernandez, since his collaboration with DCook on M>O>S Recordings in 2011. It is also Skyway’s first release on Altered Moods Recordings, offering the Californian label three tracks, with an added remix. “Pink Donut” is a wall of ethereal noise, undulating in sound before breaking into a concussive mix of percussion. “Wet Flood” chimes with sharp triangle hits, as lo-fi chords wallow in the background, omitting an analogue vibe likened to much of L.I.E.S output. The EPs title track, with its warm piano keys and italo synths, harbours a muted aggression, while Altered Moods boss Malcolm Moore doesn’t hesitate to rough things up with his Tsunami Punani remix of “Thunder", boosting the synths original presence by powering in more amplitude, adding some noise and a new harsh bassline
