REVIEW
Following last year’s Face Me release, Ryan James Ford returns to Clone’s Basement Series offshoot with a no-nonsense affair. The title track is a peak-time banger led by ominous, chiming bells and stomping kicks, while on “Love Child (Wood Mix)”, he opts for a similar albeit not as intense approach, with layered bells unravelling over an acid-tinged tribal rhythm. “Chelmsford (Live Mix)” sees Ford opt for a grittier approach, with the visceral kicks inspired by Jeff Mills’ gritty take on techno. Meanwhile, on “Ban This”, he delivers nightmarish synth lines over a pummelling drum track, a rousing finale for this hard-hitting EP.
