Pixel Fist - Let Yourself Go EP

1.   Let Yourself Go
2.   Shots and Straps

Cover your children’s ears folks, Pixel Fist are in the ring. Let Yourself Go seems to take inspiration from a rough spectrum of sounds ranging from dentist’s drills and fire alarms to a new controversial form of rehab. This song breaks the boundaries, spits on the ground, punches you in the nose and then turns your speakers to rubble. By the end of the track we have unanimously decided that Pixel Fist need to go to some anger management classes.

The second track on the EP is a nice little, grime record with a classic, underground identity strongly churned through a hard, juddering bass grinder. Both tracks have strong identities, one brimming with pushy, cocky, boisterous whines, while the other exudes classic old school bass with a splash of hip-hop. The EP’s flare and prowess make it easy to understand why Benga has given his seal of approval and released it on his own label. Never mind the neighbours, after playing this, you will have the whole neighbourhood at your door.

Rating: 7/10
