“Pressing Matters” is an intriguing album that merges lo-fi aesthetics with danceable beats, creating a distinctive sound in the electronic music scene. It's known for its tape-saturated sonics and gritty breakbeats that give it a raw, unpolished charm. The title track, “Pressing Matters,” is a prime example of this style, featuring ragga vocal samples and robust breakbeats, underpinned by thick, elastic analogue bass sequences. This track, along with others on the album, takes listeners on a clattering electro-funk journey, with smeared-out synth trails that add a touch of Tangerine Dream's influence to the mix. The production quality of the album is intentionally woozy, contributing to its unique character. This tape-saturated approach sets The Cyclist apart, offering tracks that are as suited for introspective listening as they are for energizing a dancefloor.
