Jikuroux
Cradle Bay EP
Decisions
There’s a welcome grandeur to Jikuroux’s melody on her new EP’s title track that is a little betrayed by the drum work. At the one-minute-twenty mark that succinct three-note Peverelist-esque riff comes in and gives the synth stabs a supple counterpoint that the snare hits all but eclipse. ‘Cracked’ illustrates the exact opposite aspect of my gripe perfectly, the drums back off and let that melody do all the heavy lifting. Devil mix me and it’d be a 9.5/10.
