Pall Simon is the new face of a Paume (Transalpine EP, Melodic Records, 2014). This new project conserves the luxuriousness of of the artist’s previous releases, but the tracks are driven by a more forceful and stripped down style of beats and basslines.
The 8 minute long title track is the first track of the producer’s two track EP, Black Lunch. The track is driven by a shifting yet repetitive bassline, yet conserves a dreamy, organic feeling with the inclusion of melodic keys and vocals, as well as a variety of delicate percussion and sample work.
The B-side is a change of pace, dropping the listener into what feels like a small, dark room full of sweaty dancers, permeated by raw acid basslines, a slowly oscillating sub bass and dry, hard hitting beats.
The Black Lunch marks a change for Hugo Billionnet, the producer behind Pall Simon. A clear shift in composition technique leaves us with more progressive tracks, which represents quite a change from the verse and chorus construction of his previous work.
