Edit history

Svelt are a live band that love electronic music. Jesse Ricketson on drums and Duncan Ford on guitar, pitted against James Nichols on synths and Aden Wessels on FX and samplers. Rapaport (Big Village) lends his rhymes to the EP. With a desire to make electronic beats, from frenetic 90’s UK jungle to today’s bass-heavy rhythms, Svelt still don’t seem to be able to shake their guitar-band upbringings, ending up with a sound that is as equally unrelated to Ableton-soaked bedroom laptop production as it is to raw guitar punk. Either way, it’s a mix that manifests itself with a heavy swagger. Not one for being consumed by restraint, Svelt are unleashed, raw, and immediate. They draw on influences from locals The Bird, to the cosmic beats of the Brainfeeder label, to the heavy productions of Noisia. The EP represents a cherry picked selection of their best live tunes of the last year. It reflects their nature as a fierce live act, delivering consistently through the year at festivals
