following drops for sneaker social club, domino and alex nut’s ho_tep label, throwing snow makes his debut on local action with an ice cold three-track ep. opening track >pyre< is the straightest thing here, with vocals from augustus ghost (throwing snows collaborator in snow ghosts) riding bitter hi-hats and an heavyweight bassline, while >equuleus< (also featuring vocals from augustus) takes things into lo-fi pop territory, with a swelling synth climax kept together by tight drum rolls. >too polite< is the title track for a reason though - its torn-out jungle driven by a jagged reese bassline and rolling toms. each track on this ep is totally different in terms of style and tempo, but its all brought together by a bitter, icy feel. as local actions last release of 2011, the first run of vinyl copies will come packaged with a cd-r label compilation, featuring 100% unreleased material from t. williams, contakt, laurel halo, throwing snow, damu, jacques greene and more.
