Ekcle sends listeners orbiting in outer space with the otherworldly, experimental funk track “Pearl Jigsaw”. The early use of erratic sampling and hopscotch-like synths call KOAN Sound to mind, but “Pearl Jigsaw” takes a variety of intergalactic, head-spinning turns during its nearly six-minute runtime. Ekcle balances on the precipice of so many genres, and the Bristol-based duo’s ability to condense a wide variety of influences into a single song makes “Pearl Jigsaw” worthy of repeat listening. The multi-dimensional sound really pulls you into the world of the song, with bright comet streaks of guitar piercing against the introspective, expansive movements of the piece.
