Bleep

Jean Nipon's first release in almost two years comes on the ever-reliable Parisian ClekClekBoom label. The Nice Seeing You EP finds Nipon traversing a path of murky beats and wavering synth melodies, a new territory for this long-standing producer of note. 'Eerie II' is an appropriately chilling opener, industrial hiss swirling around muted toms and dark synth lines. 'Daydream Nation' could fit in perfectly on a LIES record, its distorted bass lines and ominous melodies belying its positive title. 'I Owe You So Much' rattle and squeak in forward motion, while 'Up North' is a gorgeous closer, its iridescent synth lines dancing towards the sky.
