- Rustie busted his sound wide open on Glass Swords, letting it free in glorious streams of colour. His first new songs since then land on Numbers, the Scottish institution where his roots lie. Appropriately, the new 12-inch shows him compressing his flashy prog rock aesthetics into two bite-sized club concoctions.
Both sides are under four minutes and center around quick builds; like grenades, they're over in a flash but their impact resonates. Each handles its drops quite differently. "Triadzz" jumps into a stomach-churning trap breakdown, juggling EPROM-esque effects in a seismic chamber, before hurtling into a triumphant stomp. Outside of its chest-beating refrain, it's an uncharacteristically minimal affair, much like his earliest work. "Slasherr," on the other hand, is positively orchestral. The track rolls headfirst like a roller coaster, with a maniacally repeated chord that beats you over the head until you're dizzy. Quick and dirty, it's simple enough to soundtrack a sports event, catchy enough to attract the EDM kids, yet still produced well enough to win over the heads.
