For the next leg in the journey of Fur Coat's imprint Oddity, Italian duo EarthLife step into the fold with a comprehensive EP consisting of four original tracks, and a remix appearance from Coeus. EarthLife is an artistic project born from the collaboration of Luca Garzione and Luigi Gargano. Developing a unique sound concept by combing influences from multiple genres, they reach their objective of creating a refined sound, full of atmosphere.
Having previously contributed to the label with tracks on the Odd Echoes VA, this is the first time the pair put forward a full EP on the imprint. Opening the package is "Redemption". The title track stays true to the pair's description of themselves, with expert use of developing synth lines and atmospheric melodies, the sound transports you to a deeper place and is perfectly suited to frame a key moment on the dancefloor.
Next up is the second original "Italia" as well as a new take from Coeus who puts forward a remix. Slightly tougher than the opener, Italia presents a more driving rhythm, a track thats designed to push a set forward. Coeus's remix takes this a step further, with strong percussion elements combined with a catchy lead, moving the listener through.
Rounding off the EP we have "Figure Astratte" and "Grace". A fitting end to the package, both tracks complement each other nicely, whilst offering totally different vibes. Both are more paired back from the previous, with Figure Astratte offering a more rolling and chilled atmosphere. Grace follows suit, but features some beautiful chord and synth progressions to create a truly alluring atmosphere.
EarthLife's first full outing on Oddity does not disappoint.
A well-rounded collection of tracks that will see play on dancefloors and stereos alike. This has something for everyone, from the energetic opener, to the beautifully climatic closer.
