Nils Penner’s first release for Freerange, 2012’s Munich/Berlin EP, seemed to re-ignite his career, landing him subsequent appearances on Compost Black Label and Exploited. This return to Freerange as every but as warm and involving as you’d expect, with the title track skipping along on a wave of Innervisions-style bottom end, shuffling drums, heart-aching string chords, bluesy vocal samples and some wonderfully tactile riffs. Even better is Pittsburgh Track Authority’s superb remix, which adds a little Detroit swing and classic Chicago deep house bounce to Penner’s very European-sounding original (think jaunty piano chords, eyes-wide-shut strings and fizzing Motor City percussion). Bonus cut “State of Mind” – all melancholic pianos, drawn-out breakdowns and tech-house swing – is pretty tasty, too.
