Bass for an Empty Room

Sepalcure—the production duo of Travis Stewart and Praveen Sharma—make electronic music for the space between late night and early morning, when the city outside has gone quiet and you’re still awake for no good reason. Pencil Pimp sits in that register: low-frequency pressure, melancholic pads, a rhythm that moves like something half-remembered. Their self-titled debut on Hotflush is one of those records that doesn’t ask for your full attention and somehow gets it anyway.
