BROTHOMSTATES - Claro, Warp

Lassi Nikko returns to Warp with his debut full-length following the Qtio EP released last month. The much-mentioned influences of Autechre and Plaid on this young Swedish musician are indeed present here with equal measure, particularly in that the complexity of the programming and the harder edge of the intricacies involved are juxtaposed with a sweet and warm grasp of melody that pervades some of the tracks on offer, but it would be unfair to describe the Brothom sound as contrived. Rather than emulating the sounds of his heroes, Lassi skillfully fuses both into a crisp and crunchy, yet almost dancey variant of electronic listening music - as in the post-house sprawl of 'Brothomstates Ipxn' or the appocalyptic samba-esque calypso of '-'. The LP closes with standout track 'Viimo' - for which Brothom draws on the sounds of Arovane with a killer 8 minute trawl through the lushest of melodies and the crispest of percussive rumbles. This is a deep and carefully constructed LP of broken beats and squashed electronica that will appeal to fans of the aforementioned artists and should keep Mr Nikko in good stead for his future endeavours. Check.
