Sideways (Terminé)

Finnish duo Terminé's debut 5-track EP, Sideways, is out now on Finnish label, Youth Control. The project combines electronica from one of Finland’s most established DJ/Producers Anton Sonin, who’s had releases on Anjunabeats, Spinnin’ Records and Universal Music,  and indie-rock from sensational singer/songwriter Ben Andreas. The pair describe their sound as “new-wave indie-rock meets the infamous Panorama Bar at Berghain.”

As I've stated before the title track is amazing, gottal love the tropical-hosue vibe of the track and the echoing guitar riff which is then joined by a repetitive xylophonic bass! And Andreas' vocals are so soothing giving it a relaxing vibe.

The euphoric second track, Turn Off The Lights, continues with their chilled vibe, with the soothing vocals once again taking centre stage to the expertly layered sound-world crafted by Sonin, including powerful but unobtrusive percussion and even a biblical organ chord sequence.

Satellites continues the theme of echoing guitar riffs: layered with samples and punchy bass, the track has expertly timed peaks and troughs, stripping the song back to basics to highlight first a catchy bass riff and then Andreas’ haunting falsetto vocals, before the dance-inspired rhythms and synths rejoin once again before a slow fade out!

The 2nd half of the EP is comprised of remixes: an extended mix of Sideways, Roisto's remix of Sideways and Atoll Tone's deep progressive mix of Turn Off The Lights! Loving it!
