Ellis Wake, Meteors EP (FRE038)
Three weeks after the sampler, Free Entry hands FRE038 to Ellis Wake, the one act from the FRE037 orbit with a whole EP of their own. After one listen you get why. This sits closest to the Cove Runner end of the roster: melodic, a little starry-eyed, with drums that keep working the whole way through.
"I wrote all three in the same week. It was the week of the August meteor showers, which felt like either a sign or a very good coincidence."

The title track is the anthem. Every Time We Talk is the one that'll end up in everybody's June mixes, all skippy garage swing, with the vocal sample answering the Rhodes like a phone call you're glad to be on. Wait For Me saves its sample for the last drop and earns it. My EP of the summer so far.

the Rhodes and the vocal sample trading off is the whole EP for me
