Welsh duo Martyrs are sitting comfortably on the fence between disco and early house on their Syncline Folds EP. Both genres are not exactly known for meaningful lyrical content, but there is a place for soul searching in the title track and a history lesson, well sort of, in Chicago Folk House. The latter pays tribute to the pioneers in the Windy City by way of a gentle clash between acoustic guitars and beats.
Michael Hall and Jon Howells have taken two genres that dominated the mainstream back in the day and given them the fresh coat of paint. However, the real gem on the EP is Project 1, with angry guitars overpowering the beats, giving rock an unexpected victory over dance music.
The Syncline Folds EP is available from the band's website.
