New: Carnivals - Absences/Ino (Parts 1 & 2)

Having uncovered Carnivals’ first release just under a year ago in the form of the Mavi Kara EP, I’m seriously excited for the year ahead now the Sheffield ‘romanticist’ producer has returned with a double sided single ‘Absences / Ino (Parts 1 & 2). In a field of moody electronica suffering saturation and lacking true pioneers, Carnivals is leaning towards an amalgamation of his former sounds: leading to the minimalist and vaguely exotic hip-hop sound particularly prevalent on ‘Leeda’ (which I broadcast at the Netaudio Festival in May), and its being combined with the claustrophobic tendencies, overcast, disconsolate murmurs and climactic, scintillating motifs to bring us ‘Absences & Ino’. One of this year’s most promising surprises has come very early on indeed..
