EP Review: THYLACINE - “Exil”

image

The French artist THYLACINE, originally from Angers, just received the honor of the track of the weekend with “Closing” feat. Dyllan. It’s the third track on his new EP “Exil” which came out last week. So how does the EP stack up?

Released: January 26, 2015

Genres: Electronic, minimal, trip hop

Tracks: 4

Who would like this EP? 

Fans of Wood Kid’s orchestral harmonies, and people who like Kavinsky’s beats. 

Our thoughts: 

Though there are certainly some unique elements at play, mashing harmonies on top of the hollowness of something deep, this EP is a product of a lot that came before it. The highlight track, “Closing,” features the pleasantly subdued and haunting voice of Dyllan, an element that could’ve taken the other tracks on “Exil" much further. Instead the three other tracks swerve between strings, minimal beats, and trip, making for a pleasant listen but one that remains more shallow than complex.
