Jimmy The Hand – Paitience EP [ORN034]
Purveyors of deep-tinged electronic grooves since 2008, Ornate Music returns for their next analogue emission. Dropping four refreshingly shaped cuts from mysterious Bolton boy: Jimmy The Hand. A seriously talented artist and shaper of off-kilter sonics, Jimmy works his alchemy in all the right places on this impressive collection of creations. Punchy drums and uplit mood colour the way in opener ‘Nail Varnish”, as ‘Delve Deep’ opens the Arps to crunched drums, setting the mind to cycle with impressive effect. Over on the flip, rising pads and rhythmic shuffle fuse with warped effects as you skip through the sunny climes of ‘That’s More Like It’. Last but not least, you’re met with the RAW punch of ‘Breath’: a full complement of Millsian influenced psychotropia that leaves you screaming for more, you’ve been warned.
