The latest release of London producer Silverlining has arrived by way of his own Silverlining Dubs imprint. Simulacra, as its titled, comprises eight singles and marks the producer’s first-ever double LP. It released in digital and vinyl formats on February 15th.
Tracks like “▙ ■ Contracultura” and “▛ □ Observa” exhibit distinct electro influence, whereas “▚ ■ Aura” (which premiered via Trommel) and “▛ ■ Schema” fit noise elements and infectious synths into the four-on-the-floor formula. After “▞ ■ Tundra” pairs soulful vocals with subtle acids and retro synths, the effort closes out with the chilled-out breakbeat sound of “▞ □ Recognitia.”
