Submotion Orchestra - Five Points

6 years after their last album, fan favourite Kites, Submotion Orchestra
make their long-awaited return with the remarkable Five Points EP
Recorded over a period of two months at band member Taz Modi's new studio in
the Sussex countryside, it sees the band plough a path through electronica, jazz,
soul and ambient in their own singular way. After a period of time spent looking
back at their oeuvre, with the release of two Unplugged collections as well as
classic debut album Finest Hour on vinyl for the frst time, the refreshed, slightly
older and wiser band set their sights frmly ahead, and the result is music that
sounds like nothing they've done before.

Whilst featuring the uniquely fragile voice of Ruby Wood and the live
instrumentation that has been their calling card in the electronic world for so
long, the EP also delves into rhythms, soundscapes and effects that push their
recognisable sound as far as it can go, and acts as the perfect taster for the
forthcoming album that the band are currently recording.

Created as a seamless listening experience, the EP opens with the evocative and
atmospheric 'Start Point', as dreamlike synths and brass mix with wordless
harmonies straight from the heavens. 'Hope' continues the mood, warm analogue
synth patterns combining with fragmented vocals on a persistent build-up to an
emotional climax. Lead single 'Side One' cheekily nods to Submotion classic 'All
Yours', before moving into newer territory, where Ruby Wood's vocals slowly
become distorted and twisted, the perfect backdrop for this story about the loss
of hope. Flowing joinlessly into its mirror image 'Side Two', we see the
instrumental prowess of Submotion Orchestra which has so long been their
defning characteristic in full fow. Finally, 'End Point' brings the EP to a moving
and wistful climax, telling a tale of the wisdom that can only come after bitter
experience.

Tracks: Start Point / Side One / Side Two / Hope / End Point
