Editor's review
On this Ghostly International compilation of new and interesting faces of electronic music, The Reflecting Skin is indeed a bright spot on the genre's radar. Multilayered and pleasingly hectic, the Skin's epidermis features a melodic focal point, and everything else crashes together and bubbles beneath it. It's more emotional than most of the stuff Ghostly put out, but in no way cheesy or forced. A proper standout for a "look who'll make it big" compilation.
Biography
Venturing Beyond its established roster, Ghostly International is proud to present five up-and-coming acts from across the stylistic map on New Faces, the latest in a unique series of digital-only EPs. Recent Ghostly signing JDSY (last seen remixing Solvent) open with "Me See" , a charming slice of carnival pop, followed by the rich melodic layers and scattershot rhythms of WISP (Who earned notoriety with his reinterpretations of Aphex Twin). The Reflecting Skin continues with the dark, M83-influenced shuffle of "Year of the Knife", while Manhunter contributes the Disco Nouveau dancefloor punch of "Body Double". Rounded out by the mossy vocal from Kranky's Benoit Pioulard, the New Faces EP is a concise, varied overview of artists from (and about) whom we'll soon be hearing much more.
