‘Diluente’ is the EP’s hypnotic title track. The track opens with swell of sustained strings and heavily applied reverb before giving way to an earth-shattering bassline and heavily manipulated samples. Despite the ‘acoustic’ nature of the instruments deployed here, Amor Satyr’s aggressive processing gives the drum and string sounds a harsh, mechanical edge.
Stunning, ragged-edged funk and soul—if you didn’t know this was new, it could be easily mistaken for a rarities comp from the late ’60s. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2017
