We have become huge fans of Winnipeg's Chris Komus over the past few years. We never miss an opportunity to share a new tune from the psychedelic bass producer to the north. Komus tends to work in the glitchier, more downtempo realms, but our chosen track from his new EP, which happens to be the title track from Wheezing Corporeal Shell (out September 15th on Shanti Planti) finds itself at the nexus of psydub and deep dubstep.
Chris Komus songs are always these cinematic, unraveling epic poems charting dozens of styles over the course of their ebb and flow. “Wheezing Corporeal Shell” is no different, stretching over seven minutes of deep, pulsing dubstep that still contains those trippy sonic figments we so dearly enjoy.
The rest of the album definitely falls more into the psydub realm, and tends to incorporate more of those psybass techniques we know and love, but for the dubstep fan dipping their toes into other subgenres, this is a true delight.
