It must be time for summer, if this three-track mini EP from Roebeck is anything to go by. Catch the listeners' attention with a few seconds of feedback and white noise (Prelude) then bleep them into submission with the rather-longer-than-its-title suggests 22 Seconds, a laidback, trancey electronic swirl to set off a warm evening out on the lawn with picnic hamper, strawberries and cream.
Luke and Brett, aided by the warm vocals of Titania Hientz (no, me neither), produce a nice, warm, cosy red wine experience that may not go a long way to riding them of tags which have previously labelled them 'uneventful trance', but sometimes you don't want the music to grab your attention and smash you against the wall with it, you just want it to wend its way along happily in the background, and 22 Seconds does this very well.
The best track is the final one, A Short Piece While Waiting For Storm Relief. An instrumental which falls somewhere between Air, Daft Punk and classical pretensions, it chugs along pleasantly - much like Roebeck all over, in fact.
