Daniel Savio – Nekropolis – LP Vinyl+CD

Bijou Skwee offering from Daniel Savio, dropping a cool debut album housed in hand assembled sleeve with a vinyl plus inner containing a duplicate CD copy. Savio has been a core member of the Skwee brigade since it’s inception, and ‘Nekropolis’ reinforces the style, while attempting to advance it into the next decade. Over nine tracks he tweaks gurgling 8-bit synths and bottom-heavy yet brittle machine rhythms into cheekily cute and crafty formations, from the moody mooch of ‘Lordoftheflies’ through the endearingly electro of ‘Pearly Gates’ and finding a particular highlight in the warm machine soul of ‘Sqoui Sweet Sqoui’.
