O’Flynn “Spyglass”
Blip Discs‘ very own O’Flynn first dropped onto our radar with last year’s Tyrion / Desmond’s Empire, which received numerous accolades from many electronic music pros. James Blake and Pearson Sound are included, and Four Tet is quoted to have even said that he “literally could not put that record down. It’s going off everywhere I play it.”
News of O’Flynn’s second EP brings an excitement so palpable, we at HQ are jumping at the opportunity to back it. The Oberyn / Spyglass EP embodies that same O’Flynn spirit of laidback dance music we got well acquainted with first time around. A sound so in vogue, we even dedicated a podcast to it last year. After James Blake dropped the A-side on his BBC Radio One residency, we were keen to get our mitts on the other track. Lo and behold – we present “Spyglass”! An insatiable groove of (surprisingly un-cheesy) sax and purple-tinged synth patterns, mellower in nature when compared to its bouncy and exotic “Oberyn” counterpart. Another successful yield from dance music’s most prosperous newcomer.
Oberyn / Spyglass drops on 21st March (digi + vinyl). Catch it here.
