98 Years

Description

H2H is the thriving and wondrous planet of Chez Damier and the solidly formed and ever-bright moon of Ben Vedren. They are self-contained giants in our world. We’ve seen their respective strengths in their solo careers. As a duo, they’ve already orbited the universe: making a brief foray into the heavens for cosmic shows on Logistic (98’) and teaming up with the meteorite shower that is Ricardo Villalobos on Perlon as Villa H2H. Logistic is proud to present this exceptional 12” single bringing together two brilliant new tracks from the two of them. On "Cry", it’s perhaps the passing of a flock of birds that makes this track coalesce. With each procession, their cries denote new intrigue into this serpentine tale. The book opens with a rhythm section so tight it needs no variance - an upright bass, a bongo snap, and a kick so deep the earth’s core takes note. There are voices, not one but two: a male rhythmic chatter placed under a soaring female vocal line. Just as we settle in, the birds return. This time we’re gripped by a synth line so glorious it hugs us like an old friend. Now, we’re committed… and then the birds pass again… A brass section? Yes! A trombone, a sax? We could go on, but why read the last page of the book for you? "No More" is what we’d expect from a B-side - something contemplative, a change of pace. So, as we sink into the enormous couch that is "No More" we are rested by the thoughtful slowness of its humble beginnings. We are enthralled by a gentle synth hit, and then a warm, comforting voice comes in, just to let us know that it’s not over yet. These elements succeed each other, underpinned by a Rhodes piano that is just enough to leave us wanting more until next time… This is what you call a perfect ending.
