    Joey Anderson - The Vase Joey Anderson - The Vase
    Joey Anderson - The Vase DJs look to Joey Anderson for tracks of a certain tone. Over the past five years, the New Jersey artist has expanded his signature sound by going slower, faster, weirder and deeper. But at its core, Anderson's music always retains a sense of sinister poise. Even when he's doing tender deep house, as he does on "The Vase," the title cut from this EP for Avenue 66, he can't help but sound bittersweet. Make no mistake: "The Vase" is gorgeous. The synths and piano lines are typically rich, his use of drums sounds characteristically refined, but the Jan Jelinek-style buzzes and the gently discordant backing synth are grey clouds on an otherwise clear day.

    "If One Cares, They Act Different" is textbook Anderson, a track to replace another of his similarly-crafted cuts in your record bag. Its central synth arpeggio is a near-constant, its brand of edgy drama immediately identifiable. The reason Anderson can sustain these unflinching grooves is revealed here in the final 20 seconds: the bass and drums, and in particular the toms, provide powerful low-end momentum, allowing him to run wild in the mids and highs. Ditto "Peace There." The kick and bass are both tough customers, but up top we get cosmic organs and glossy FM synths. It's a classic example of Anderson-style counterpoint.
