Southern England’s Claire Ripley is back with a brand new EP via Knee Deep In Sound. It is called Malificent and is a gorgeous example of Tech House music.
The title track kicks off the package and sees Ripley deliver a slowly bubbling workout employing swinging rhythms, snaking bass stabs, tension buildings strings and fluttering ethereal vocal murmurs.
Only You follows and veers things into more stripped-back, darker realms with sparse, tight percussion, infectious organ stabs and whirring synth drones alongside an amalgamation of vocal chops. Last track of the package is Yearning, which closes on a deeper tip with soft chords hits, weighty drums and vacillating vocal loops intertwining through the track's seven and a half minutes.

Claire Ripley’s Malificent EP is out on Knee Deep In Sound this Friday, February 12th!
