THROWING SNOW // Local Action 008 debut EP 'Too Polite'

Local Action 008
Too Polite
● A1 - Pyre
● A2 - Equuleus 
● AA1 - Too Polite

Following drops for Sneaker Social ClubDomino and Alexander Nut’s Ho_Tep label, London-based producer Throwing Snow makes his debut on Local Action with an ice cold three-track EP.

Opening track 'Pyre' is the straightest thing here, with vocals from Augustus Ghost (Throwing Snow’s collaborator in Snow Ghosts, who’re in the process of recording an album for Black Acre - home of HyetalBlue Daisy and more) riding bitter hi-hats and a heavyweight bassline, while ‘Equuleus’ (also featuring Augustus) takes things into lo-fi pop territory, with a swelling synth climax kept together by tight drum rolls. 

The stand-out ‘Too Polite’ is the title track for a reason though - it’s torn-out jungle driven by a jagged Reese bassline and rolling toms. Each track on this EP is totally different in terms of style, tempo and clarity, but it’s all brought together by a bitter, icy feel. 

As Local Action’s last release of 2011, the first run of vinyl copies will come packaged with a CD-R label compilation, featuring 100% unreleased material from T. WilliamsContaktLaurel Halo, Throwing Snow, DamuJacques Greene and more.

'Too Polite' is Local Action’s fifth and final release of 2010, following singles and EPs by T. Williams, Damu, Paul Woolford and Contakt.
