DESCRIPTION:
Taken from "Tohu Bonus" by RONE
Mini album to be released on 9th July

Rone's trance-y 2012 album Tohu Bohu is getting an overhaul, with an extra six tracks filling out a reissue package put together by InFiné. Thankfully, "Pool" suggests this will be more than just a patchwork of outtakes and tracks not deemed good enough the first time out. Battles drummer John Stanier takes a guest turn on the track, which forces him to attune to its myriad twists and turns as Rone, aka French producer Erwan Castex, guides him through ruminative ambient planes and buoyant, uplifting passages.
"Pool" works precisely because of its deceptive nature; when Stanier beats out a triumphant drum roll at the midway point it feels like the track is peaking, only for Catex to splice in a pool of New Age synth sounds, reducing the mood to a lull. When they build back up again, it reaches a similar point to Tortoise's "Gamera", where clattering live drums snake around intricate electronics, working in tandem to reach a point of blissful communion.
