After making waves with their Glasgow Jihad EP and follow-up full-length debut bordersbreakdown, Glaswegian glitch gang Machines in Heaven offer another tantalising glimpse into their future as a three-piece. There are punchy bass synths here that have more in common with the 80s videogame vibes of Kavinsky than the interstellar ambience of their LP; Edge of the Middle, Hindu Milk and Feel Slow throb straight out of Tron, vocoder verses aplenty.
The latter coupled with closing track Holy Particles forms a yin and yang of dark and light, abundantly layered with shimmering, bewitching motifs. Voodoo Mechanics, however – inspiringly titled, and with a promising popcorn refrain – is the only discordant moment on an otherwise engrossing EP.
