Mike Shannon - The Excusionist EP

  • Share
  • Marking the first release of 2013 for the Lan Muzik-owned Exone, co-founders Ingo Gansera and Marco Freivogel line up Mike Shannon for its 15th entry. This time last year, the long-serving Canadian was largely focused on the experimental Blue Fields project, but for this outing it's back to more floor-driven matters. Loaded with the sort of evolving sub-weight Andy Stott is known for, "Made in Belgrade" finds Shannon going deep into the abyss of subterranean techno. Despite resembling the lost hours of a debauched night, this foreboding track carries an element of funk once in gear. "Sidewinder," the less robust of the two originals, steadily builds into a labyrinth of off-kilter and tone-heavy minimalism that aligns more with Shannon's early output. Under their Exercise One guise, Gansera and Freivogel complete the package by giving "Sidewinder" an analog-driven and less disorienting rework.
