about

Fear and Loathing in a Quaint Balearic Village is Grey Meta’s second release and unquestionably Jacob's finest work. It fits Grey Meta’s vision perfectly, in that, each track is multiples of different styles within its chosen genre. The whole EP has a 'post-breakcore' feel to it with busy break edits, which, whilst heavily edited, remain subtle and super-easily consumed.

Cliche Jungle Track Title is like a sci-fi roller... a roller, but, interesting. It is subtly busy, a complete contradiction. Harvest is huge. Imagine a dystopian Metalheadz track. Grumpy, growly and sick of your shit ideas. Jacob flexes his lushly reverbed acid muscles with, Macy, and shows that he's more than a drum and bass producer, he's an artist with groove, wonk and dripping acid lines. Perfect.

If your cochlea dine on ominous haunting pads, machine bleeps, likely female vocals, unruly yet solid drum breaks, playful acid licks, grotty low-end injections and a healthy splash of chaos, they are in for a feast. This EP is to be served cold and washed down with a triple shot of genre fluid.

Thoughts from Shaun on what inspired the artwork.
"When I first heard Fear and Loathing in a Quaint Balearic Village, I knew straight away from what I wanted to focus the art on it as I could see so much going on throughout the EP. Cliche Jungle Track Title for instance instantly projected warm colours, with the vocal feeling like a white-yellowish light gleaming from the sides and occasionally from within. The pitch changing subs were massive colour changing bumps which fed into a point at which emerged a enormous wave created by the reese that warped, swept and crashed throughout the track. I could see the amen and snares hits in bright yellow, snapping brightly in regular rhythmic patterns but suddenly switching up at times into frantic hits and carving lines above everything else."

about

Grey Meta UK

A record label that blurs the boundaries of auditory and visual art. A home to experimentation and innovation in electronic music and the interpretative visual art it inspires. Conceptualised by a family of misfits looking to give expression to the inexplicable, seeking to make sense of the slippery spaces that exist, coiled between music and art, sight and sound, machine and heart. ... more
