The Sight Below's Murmur EP (available digitally and on limited 12-inch at www.ghostly.com/releases/murmur-ep) follows in the wintry, twilight-techno wake of last year's Glider full-length. The foggy, minimalist 4/4 throb of Gas meets Monolake's glacial textural glaze on "Murmur," the Sight Below's most overt dance number. "Wishing Me Asleep" glimmers and skips like the Field after downing a few melatonin tablets. Its tranquil pulsations, bulbous kick drums, and distant, Seefeel-like guitar spray dissolve your stress, resulting in an unbeatable beatitude. The rest of the EP consists of remixes by Biosphere, Eluvium, and Simon Scott, all kindred spirits who instill their ethereal spirits into the Sight Below's deep, meditative originals. They embellish a vast, enveloping mist of ambience that's simultaneously forbidding and consoling.
