Following on from the huge successes of their previous EPs Love and OtherDrugs and Dream On which furthered solidified their commendable reputation inthe electronic music scene, the pairing's first- ever collaborative long playerconsists of 14 tracks which perfectly demonstrate their creative mastery andunmatched abilities to experiment with various styles spanning indie electronic,lo-f jungle, garage, techno and more.Setting things in motion you'll find Cold Tear of a Dreaming Vacuum Cleaner, amellow yet energising electronica-meets-D&B cut guaranteed to permeate yourheadspace with hypnotising synth plucks, bouncy drum work and ambientatmospheres directly transported from a futuristic nearby universe.Expect nothing but 80's euphoria on Storm In A Teacup featuring Isaac Howlett -the frontman of synthpop group Empathy Test. Bop x Subwave provide late nightnostalgia in its purest form with retro drum machines and catchy electronichooks as Isaac Howlett supplies distinct melodies and imaginative lyricism.The strikingly titled Rave I Didn't Know Was The Last is a glimmer into the nowdistant past of lockdowns and worldwide no- dance policies. Delving into abeautiful combination of garage and breakbeat influences, you'll soon becomeimmersed in hands-in-the-air piano stabs and down pitched vocal chops instantlytaking you back to the last rave you blissfully danced the night away at.Hush featuring fellow Russian drum & bass don Enei, and Hospital's freshestsigning SOLAH, is a techy drum & bass liquid number layered with hazy chimes,minimal 2-step drums and a sinister bassline. Stripped back and rolling, SOLAH'svocals are a sublime addition as she graces the track with her delicate harmoniesand captivating lyricism.In true Bop x Subwave fashion, Addicted To Space is a UK- garage steppercomplete with subtle lo-f injections. As they step into the 130BPM territory braceyourself for dissonant chord stabs, distorted vocal chops and a wompingbassline.
