Solid Stone – Lotus [Phenomena]

Phenomena caps off an incredible year with a new EP from label boss Solid Stone. The Canadian artist has continued to develop a distinctive sound across 2019. In combining fresh rhythmic concepts with tight grooves and astral aesthetics, the Montreal resident has continued to receive support from Adriatique and Tale Of Us. Now landing back on his Phenomena imprint to complete a stellar year, Solid Stone presents the two track offering 'Lotus'.

Continuing to diversify his portfolio, Solid Stone explores a deeper, more hypnotic sensibility on the title cut 'Lotus'. Tight beats, electric rhythms and dramatic tones begin the six minute journey. Senses heighten as layers of percussion and atmospheric drifts unite across a devilish first act. As the main break begins to take shape an indistinct vocal furthers the narrative, with rising modulation creating a sinister tonal tension, opening up with each successive loop, before reaching a tasteful apex and stripped re-entry.

The companion piece 'Sworn Seven' follows a similar minimalistic ethos, making it the perfect complement to its predecessor. Sitting at the heart of the piece is a tranquil arp and ghostly vocal fragment, perfectly set up by a punchy groove, clattering percussion and hazy atmospherics. Ominous and intriguing, it's arcane nature is inviting, becoming fully realized during the main break, as tasteful modulation melts down to a gentle purr and effortlessly segues into a meditative finale.

In a year filled with memorable productions, Solid Stone may have saved his most astute work for its final offering, with both 'Lotus' and 'Sworn Seven' elevating the Canadian's unique sonic philosophy once again.
