Shelter Point continue an incredibly strong few months with the release of Cut Me Loose / Slow Air, two records that further establish them as a singularly talented act.
Cut Me Loose sees the duo in deeply reflective mode, with Liam Arnold’s haunting vocal flitting ghost-like amid heavily dubbed percussion and a throbbing, Reece-inspired bassline. But it’s arguably Slow Air that provides the real standout moment here: an epic, nine minute excursion through intricate harmonies and rhythms that develops into a frenetic techno cut, and calls to mind to work of electronic mainstay Jon Hopkins.
The single will be accompanied by a stunning remix of Cut Me Loose by Submotion Orchestra, a collective of musicians currently producing some of the most innovative and exciting music coming from the UK. A kaleidoscope of electronic bass music, entrancing vocals, ambient, jazz and dub, their output sits somewhere on an axis between Bonobo and London Grammar.
“Slow Air was recorded at 4am, we plugged line out synths into valve amps and subsequently destroyed them, but we got it on tape so it sounds cool.” Liam Arnold
Cut Me Loose / Slow Air is out 08 September on Armada Music. The Submotion Orchestra remix of Cut Me Loose is out 22 September

[item value="10"]Shelter Point - Cut Me Loose / Slow Air[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]It's definitely very difficult to produce interesting chill out music. Shelter Point arrive with two very interesting cuts in their luggage. Cut Me Loose is melodic organic sensual sensation dreamy electronic chilling track with superb singing and lyrics that can easily touch the listener and keep him fixed on the dancefloor with closed eyes. Slow Air is a great experimental leftfield production that anything and everything is possible with sounds that sounds like the calmness you feel before a massive storm. It's great tapestry of sounds that invite the listener to paint their own pictures. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
