Coming hot off his rather expansive Cognitive Dissonance 2x12" for Love Notes, and also an EP for AxeTrax, tape_hiss herein continues his impressive run. On Jacob's Ladder, the artist pushes his emotionally wrought sound over cooking percussion and bubbling acid undertones. Maspeth Ave is quite honestly the nastiest bassline we have heard on a deep house track in some time, sure to cause spontaneous "bass face" in the listener. Life as an Echo uses soaring chords and synths to prove its point, and Forests of My Mind finishes the EP off with a pitch bending chord that pushes the track right along. Yet another extremely cohesive, emotionally charged effort from this artist.
