 Official Press Release:
Aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with
the ‘Hug The Scary EP’, a collaboration between luminaries Will Saul and Lee
Jones.
Will Saul is best known as the head of Simple Records, up for nomination as
‘Best British Label’ in DJ Magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental Aus imprint on which this EP is released. In his career to date he has released numerous singles on Simple, the critically acclaimed ‘Space Between’ album and has recently produced an EP for the German Label Systematic. Englishman in Berlin Lee Jones has to date released acclaimed singles on Liebe
Detail, Aus and his own label, Just Recordings. Formerly releasing under the
moniker ‘Hefner’, he is also a main creative force behind Playhouse Records’ My My, whose ‘Songs For The Gentle’ album won plaudits worldwide in 2006.
Opener ‘Hug The Scary’ is a transcendental journey. Trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. Tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. On the flip side, Partial Arts (the duo of Ewan Pearson and Al Usher) give their
own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. Stormy fuzz and bubble bath
accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal
melody. A sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a
saturated melodic climax.
