Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The four tracks on the Friends From the Bar EP actually do sound like an attempt to capture a meeting at a bar somewhere — in Berlin, maybe. If there is an overarching style here, it seems to be one that synthesizes house, ambient and downtempo. Kaster Cordalis’s “Soul Romance” favors bright and soothing tones, while “The Nod,” by Roger That, reveals That’s penchant for crafting rhythms that include tightly constructed yet fluid bass lines. On “Barbelle,” Walker employs a unique array of sounds and percussive elements, and Beaner’s “Tool of Subjugation” is grounded in modern drum-and-bass, with a luminous sonic quality.
