Berlin resident Call Super (aka JR Seaton) provides the debut release on the Houndstooth label with his four track EP, The Present Tense. On the A-side Threshing Floor pivots on the heavy 4x4 kick, with Seaton cloaking it with swathes of sound that shimmer and pulse and yet Leosengor is almost the antithesis of that approach; all bubbles of synthesizer, stuttering stop/start drum patterns and woozing melodies that melt through the spaces the drums create. In fact, the whole EP is a multitude of approaches with Siglo Gray Vision and No City Of Choice on the B-side further fleshing out the Call Super arsenal with morphing drones and sprawling dial tones on the former, and huge chunky drum textures prevailing on the EP closer.
