Heart Life from Flamingo by NEAT

NEAT make a welcome return to Exploited with 'Flamingo'; a record showcasing the versatility of the Stockholm duo across 3 disparate moods.

The title track kicks things off to a hazy and hypnotic start. Plumes of reverberated vocals and a mournful piano motif are ferried along by textural, organic percussion. As the track progresses, a more jagged vocal churns into the mix while a 909 hat locks in a steady, shoegazing groove.

'BraSex' follows up with a raw, forthright house groove guaranteed to wake up the floor. Jacking claps and snares are woven in lock step with a piano stab which is bolstered by a deep set sub. Woozy vocals, some synth stabs and subtle sax flashes season the track with an irresistible energy before 'Heart Life' adds a further facet to the EP with an allaying Italo-tinged groove.

A bustling bass line sits under neat, punchy drums as progress nudges towards a wide open breakdown. Expansive chords and airy vocals dash broad strokes of pastel colour across the record before the groove snaps back for a kinetic conclusion.
