Marsupial

6 new cuts straight from the soundsystem minded, sonic swamp of Robin Stewart, sitting patiently at the soundboy’s death bed, kissing him to sleep. Opening up with ‘Pastel’, the low-frequency word-sound dance with Anglo-Afro-Latina poet Daniel Dyson, the meter is set with the pressure up to ten on the dial right from the start. Once we’ve entered the zone, it’s a depth charge straight into title track ‘Marsupial’, which is guided by extra mixing desk dub engineering via Sunun, and conjures the ghosts of 00’s Bristol music, whilst injecting a kind of Chris & Cosey esque Trance. But don’t get it twisted, Robin Stewart has a style of his own and this can be heard throughout all his work, whether solo, or in collaboration – His sound presents a world of wigged out ghost notes and slap-in-your-face tones & drones that dance together in skeletal, heavyweight style – Throughout this record, the focus is centred around bassweight and third-eye opening glimmers of frequency that light up even the most pitch black moments, such as the paranoid vocal pitch shift of ‘Survival Guide’ – the most ‘techno’ of all, whilst sounding subversive enough to stand in it’s own corner with a grim smile.
