If She Says She Is A Healer She Is A Healer vinyl

Off the back that recent appearance for the illustrious Hinge Finger label run by Joy Orbison and Will Bankhead, techno deviant Barnt returns with a magnetic, and inimitably loose, 12" for the imperceptible Holger imprint. We love the material that these guys put out, and this EP from Barnt feels like exactly the right territory for the label to explore. "A-Seite 1-5" opts for the beatless approach, immersing us into an open-world of minimalistic pads shifting and moulding into one another in a subtle sort of trance - excellent. The more representative Barnt flex comes through on the B-side via "If She Says She Is a Healer, She Is A Healer", a cold, mesmerising techno bullet with a strange, twisted armoury of explorative synths recalling the Middle East. That's what it sounds like to us, anyway, but that's exactly what Barnt's music does; its vibe is ever-shifting, always in a state of flux and, of course, highly recommended.
