Wah Wah Wino is fast becoming one of those labels. A go to when they drop anything new a highly reliable guarantee of quality. After the melodic depths and dreamy spaciousness of the Officer John album, comes an altogether more angular and electronic offering from Morgan Buckley and Ben Donohoe. Sworx has a patchwork feel that fits with the story of its extended creation. Taking three years of musical experimentation and improvised playing, that then lead to a honing of outputs into a focused 12 tracker.

Tempos bounce around along with feels. 'OpportuniXt' wobbles to and fro with a marimbaesque backing that veers into an almost desert blues. Improv snippets like 'Lobby_agency_contract' pepper the record for added avantness, while there’s plenty of meat on the bones like the tough electro of 'The System Works' or the ghostly motorik drive of 'statecellar [ 641Amix ]'. There’s such a depth of sound and emotion on this record to get stuck into, each track offering something different from the last and continually surprising. Melodic ('dxmmy. pxtsy. rolodex.') to discordant ('breathwx (half_life)'). Quirky oddness ('Western_intel [ frontier 2056 ]') to searing soundtrack electronica ('sWORxism_noclocks_notimekept'). Take your pick really and dig in. Sworx is definitely one of them.
