Finally, a new EP from Boy 8-Bit. I’ve been waiting for this ever since I killed the Suspense Is Killing Me (ha!) for myself by listening to it 100+ times in the weeks following its release. The same thing appears to be happening with pretty much every track off the Baltic Pine EP (released at the end of June), but the real stand out track is A City Under Siege. It’s got just the right touch of baltimore zeal and makes me feel like I just smashed an 80’s 8-bit rendition of Prince Arthur’s Quest for the Holy Grail and am watching the closing cut scene. Baltic Pine feels more like exploring a mythical castle for the first time or the kind of music that would play while a princess looks at herself in the mirror and slowly morphs into a zombie… something like that.
Wolfen and Chapel of Ghouls hit heavy as well, but you’re going to have to show this man some Beatport love for those. Untouchable.
