Review:
From successful blog-turned-label Palms Out Sounds, Copenhagen producer Dixone supplies the heavy electro and warped bass beats for bluesman Reverend Shine to sing over on this new six-track EP, Belligerent. A beautifully forward-thinking set of songs that really eschew all categorisation, Dixone's beat on title-tune "Belligerent" is the main draw - a slick midtempo mix of indie, tropical R&B and indie that echoes Jamie xx's recent love for steel drums. The Reverend's vocals are kept dubby, echoed and often pitched down as they float in and out of the icy garage of "Lay With Me" or the gravelly "Know One", but they lend this EP a haunting and very distinctive quality that combines to make it a must-hear.
