It has been proven time and time again that the combination of live instrumentation and electronic production cultivate an experience that is unlike any other. One label who is acutely aware of this trend is WUMP Collective, who has previously released artists like Tortuga, Eyes Ahead, & Zes-T. The most recent musical amalgamation to join the roster is Glass Cannon, a group of three musicians and producers aiming to take over the bass music world with a seamless blend of vocal and musical styles. Earlier this year the group released the emotion filled and psychedelic “Slow Crave” on Gravitas Recording’s Infusion series, but while their new WUMP Collective EP “Strange Toes” has a similar aesthetic, it sees the group experiment more, and soar to new heights.
In each track the powerful vocals of Holly Harper Chesnutt gel with thick drums, tasteful instrumentation, and smooth, yet gritty basslines, creating an atmosphere that is both ethereal and intoxicating. Perhaps the best aspect of the project though is Holly’s actual lyrics, and how easily they work with the music, while still maintaining a high level of passion and substance. Hopefully in the future we see more bands follow in the footsteps of Glass Cannon, Bassline Drift, and other live electronic acts, as having such close control over the content of your music has seemed to give artists the ability to express emotion in ways that have never been possible before.
