Peace Bird EP

The music of Genius of Time has always been defined by a certain elegance and grace. Findingnew ways into and out of the labyrinth that some people call (deep) house, one the Swedish duo’sinner strength is the uncanny ability to create tension, sustaining and playing with it, before rewarding the listener (or dancer) with a fulminating mirror ball. Same goes for their treatment of percussive elements.

Peace Bird, the opener of Genius of Time’s EP of the same name, is a prime-example of that technique: a tight build-up and an intricate breakdown lead to heavily strings and foolproof floor finesse. Coming along with Smiling Into Eternity that mellows you down easy as well as the club ready Rymd01, the whole thing is a more than worthy successor to Genius of Time’s first EP for Running Back almost five years ago. Niceness unlimited. Nerd facts: most of the elements of these three tracks here were recorded live and then mixed down on a reel to reel. No safety net, no double bottom! Genius of time and genius of love.
