- Brighton-based producer Lorca has so far avoided the more generic end of the current '90s garage-house revival since he arrived in 2011 via Throwing Snow's Left_Blank imprint. He's gone on to release through Dummy and Church, and his latest is a three-track EP through 2020 Midnight Visions.
Further developing his lamenting sound, "Have I Told You" underpins a hum of ambience with rattling woodblock percussion, before a looping female vocal moves the track towards Balearic waters. "Searching" heads assuredly into steppier territory, while "Giant Stars" goes deeper, with mellow, elongated chords providing a spacious fluidity. Laurence "Citizen" Blake remixes "Have I Told You," installing slinky tones and shuffling pads to give an early '90s East Coast feel that's certainly likeable but slightly predictable. If I Told You may not brim with the fresh thinking as prior offerings but does manage to maintain some of Lorca's early promise.
