PLACID ANGLES – 056 (THE LOTUS)
2022-07-18Detroit techno legend John Beltran dusts off his Placid Angels alias once again for a moody and genre-agnostic EP entitled 056 (The Lotus). Beltran’s debut on AD 93, 056 sees him use the always electric Placid Angels project to explore some contemporary sounds somewhat outside his usual frame with a potent curiosity. The neon synths, washed-out vocals, and peppy breaks of ‘Stormy Angel’ scan close to hyperpop alongside its running mate, the soaring hyperactive electronica cut ‘Moonlight Sunset’.
