Tenaya by Callosum
Following on from Barow’s ‘Des Grains’ EP – being a release suggestive of finding one’s roots and growth – New York based Callosum undergoes an ascension, presenting a selection of truly energetic, emotive tracks that sit comfortably between the realm of club music and musical prowess. The name Tenaya is taken directly from its source – the Tenaya Peak in the Yosemite High Country – a place where strange ecology and otherworldly scale combine in a sense of profound euphoria. Callosum captures this experience brilliantly through his NHS release, harnessing the sensation of connectedness he feels to the planet he occupies.
This dream-like journey commences with ‘Fox Pt. II’, an ethereal opening piece that finds choral voices swirling between the rumbling mid frequency bassline – a theatrical entrance to the reverie. ‘Angel’ is highly suggestive of the elated energy that it generates; drawing from intricate synth work that is driven by sharp, piercing drums and a bassline that gloriously drifts through the mix. The third track ‘Fire’ switches up the pace, slowing down drastically from its predecessor. Thumping drums meld with crushing claps that together create a powerful unison with the exultant melody generated through both synthetic and organic sound. The original material concludes with ‘Tenaya’, which elevates its audience to the apex of its namesake. The light percussion glides effortlessly alongside the jubilant synth number. Track Meet/#FEELINGS wonderkid Cuyo – FKA Poolboy92 – brings us home by reviving ‘Angel’ into an erratic track with pounding immense drums against a brilliant reinterpretation of the original melody.
