Dam Mantle seems a man of short bursts of intense productivity. Inhabiting a musical period where albums aren’t commercially necessary or entirely sought after, Glasgow-based Tom Marshall hasn’t yet been burdened with the pressures of that traditionally tricky debut album. The past year-and-a-bit has seen Dam Mantle release two EPs, Grey and Purple Arrow, and guess what? Here comes another.
On first listen, We is more laid-back and ambient than its predecessors. There’s no more of the teasing tempo changes and sporadic drops of ‘Theatre’ or ‘Broken Slumber’ – instead everything seems to blend together far more naturally. The title-track is an obvious highlight, kicking off the EP with a 10 minute long epic that whirls, glistens and echoes hauntingly.
The EP is currently available to stream from Marshall’s official website or alternatively you can listen via the widget embedded at the bottom.
