The Coldest Season Vol 2

After a shaky start with Volume One, Rod Modell and Steve Hitchell raise the game on this wonderful 12”. ‘Abraxas’ is more quality, crispy dub techno, but the real delight is ‘Empyrean’: a reggae refix, like it’s being viewed through a frosty Berlin window, with unexpected warmth thanks to some classic organ work. Fantastic.
