Part 2 of Darren Allen’s Discobar debut takes us on four more precision mindtrips, exploring further the technological influences found in Part 1. On ‘Atonement’, clattering percussive and plunging bass come laced with a Stinsonesque synth line, creating a flightier vibe. The distorted hum of hardware-gone-haywire introduces ‘Scanners’, a convulsed tribute to the Cronenburg classic that rounds out this EP in typically trippy style.‘TV Sickness’ is a post-Perlon prowler, the softened shuffle of its first half returning with renewed vigour after a woozy mid-track breakdown, then reprised in a beatless coda.
