Leonardo Gonnelli
Hardman ep

Leonardo Gonnelli comes at us in pure class with some subtle bounce action on "Hardman", led by a crackling snare and the smoothest rhythm section available.

The effect-laden "Let Your Body" delivers a lesson in cymbal manipulation, while spoken word snippets set a twisted mood, supported by a drum maelstrom.

The EP closes with "Poker In My Hands", where an addictive metallic riff creeps up on us, and cyclic pads provide a warped momentum only to be reinforced by pitched-down vocals.
