The EP kicks off with 3 previously released singles, Tremble, Girls, and Forever, which are followed by Twenty-Three, Mind Rewind and Too Late. While all these tracks may be born for nights on the dancefloor, Chores knack for sound design proves them to be captivating detailed listens too. Each song has its own unique voice and timbre, from the brooding bass of Tremble to the restrained pop-ness of Twenty-Three, the EP’s definite highlight. Featuring Melbourne singer-songwriter Ariela Jacobs, the track’s delicate but catchy vocals provide plenty of pop sensibilities to the finely crafted soundscapes that Chores continually conjure up.
Look, I’m not going to beat around the DJ decks here, my knowledge of electronic music is thinner than a poorly mixed bass line. That said however, what I know for sure is that it is doing it injustice sitting on the couch writing this. These 6 tracks are irresistibly danceable and would go down a treat at a house party, a club or a whacking great festival. Chores may be award winning, but most importantly their tracks win your desire to move.
Standout tracks: Twenty-Three and Mind Rewind.
