Scotland’s imo-Lu delves inwards on her debut EP, sampling home videos taken by her late grandmother to craft compositions wrapped in atmosphere, reminding us that drum & bass can translate emotion as effectively as any other genre. The pianist/producer has a deft touch when building texture, whether on EP opener ‘Perspective’ — which slides from glacial piano chords into driving drum patterns — or ‘Tropical Juice’, which has a chord progression that speaks to the head as well as the heart. ‘Microcosm’ sets imo-Lu’s among a new school of producers inspired by liquid — reviving the warm and soulful side of a drum & bass steeped in emotion and introspection.
