Seattle producer RUMTUM (whom you may remember from his collaborations with Monster Rally) is set to release a split EP, titled New Goth Gypsies, with New York artist Catamaran as a part of Gold Robot’s ongoing split 7″ series. Characterized by its playful and lush soundscape, “New Lands” holds a power that evokes the energy of the dancefloor while maintaing a sleepy vibe more apt for leisurely listening. RUMTUM’s new track opens with ascending arpeggiated synths, bubbling noises, and crackling percussion, eventually booming into a deep rhythmic segment led by the bass and hi-hat and interlaced with obscured vocal samples. Look for the rest of the record when it’s released on September 4.
