Following his 2015 release s/t, Ant Orange is back with another groove-laden 12inch on Karaoke Kalk. Arkupe is a prime slice of laid-back beats and bass-heavy jazz breaks. Each track oozes soulfulness, from the smooth-as-silk Fender Rhodes on the opening title track to the downbeat afro rhythms of Fog Walk, and the nonchalant guitar riffs and synth lines on Little Wing. Side 1 closes with Feld, a sun-drenched slo-mo house jam. Side 2 presents another handful of diverse Ant Orange cuts, starting with the more uptempo toe-tapper Big Lils. LB offers more tasty jazz-n-bass drumming, while the closing track My Man has a breezy still-awake-on-Sunday swagger. With his latest 12inch on Karaoke Kalk, Ant Orange shows the wide range of styles he has to offer. Arkupe is loaded with some of the mellowest vibes youre likely to hear all year.
