Mini EP that’s the perfect accompaniment to Shoals, Taylor Deupree’s more expansive masterwork. Condensing his palette of gamelan orchestra sounds (sourced from the collection at York University), these tracks are only around five minutes apiece, but manage to give a succinct, punchy summation of his calming and effortlessly distinct sound. It serves as the ideal addendum for those who have already absorbed the full-length, or possibly as an appetizing taster for those unsure whether to take the leap. [JT]
