about

Layers of ethereal pads, glimmering synths and steadily building percussion introduce opening track 'Rotary', before briskly dropping into an atmospheric, reese bass-heavy drop. As the song progresses, we are met with eerie vocals, a warped synth lead, and a halftime switch-up. This is a track that keeps twisting and turning throughout its 5-and-a-half-minute duration and is the perfect introduction to ELK's varied sound.

Title track 'Copper Soul' sees ELK team up with the smooth vocals of D&B favourite Sydney for a journey into more jazz and soul influences. Perhaps the most stripped back track of the release, this one relies on a lazy rolling drum groove, meandering piano and stunning vocal work that perfectly complements the melodies and atmosphere of the instrumental.

'Kazimierz Funk' sees a slightly more experimental tip from ELK, fusing the darker and lighter sides of his musical pallete. After building tension in the intro with an increasingly busy soundscape, the tune then drops delicately into a stripped back piano and drum groove. From here, the tune continues to take unexpected turns, seeing jungle-influenced drum patterns, bouncing 808s and growling bass rips.

Final track 'The Garden' sees ELK yet again collaborating with more vocal talent, this time from Bazil MC. His deep, wistful tone and contemplative lyrics perfectly match up with the winding melodies and wailing synths of this tune, rounding off the EP with an introspective and reflective vibe.
