Merok Records is releasing the debut, four-song EP Youth II by Deptford Goth on October 17th. "No Man" is the free offering, and it's going to rock your world. Deptford Goth is the work of solo Londoner Daniel Woolhouse, and the name is appropriate – imagine traditional British stylings given a gothic, off-kilter makeover and that halfway fits the description. "No Man" is a blank canvas with light brush strokes of sound, minimalist in one swing, and entirely expansive in the next. Simple drum machines sit up front while hypnotic ooohs and ahhhs soar behind slightly fuzzy synths. It's a repeat banger for certain. It breaks off a little something 3/4 of the way through, blasting out of the ambience into fragmented percussion and clean piano strokes. That infectious vocal loop holds the fort down from beginning to end. Check out Deptford Goth's website and head over to Merok to pre-order the EP by clicking HERE. I don't usually get super hyped for EP releases, but this one I've got marked on the calendar.
