The teaser single for the full-length
Daylight, the lead-off title track of
Carpetworld, takes a direct plunge into hyperactive drum'n'bass rhythms, a distinct difference from the earlier
Darkroom recordings on
Seethrough. It's an initially surprising but ultimately effective move;
Tim Bowness doesn't change his style or singing approach any, but simply delivers his lines with a touch more edge here and there to stand out against Os' percussion loops.
Bearpark adds in low-key guitar wails and other touches around the sides, making for an unsettling balance. "Carpetworld" itself reappears as "Carpetwarehouse," extending the original by four minutes while otherwise letting
Bowness' lyrics stand out -- "Have twisted sex/With your ugly ex" makes for a great slam. The creepy title track from
Daylight makes an appearance as well, while the EP as a whole concludes with "Ardri," a gentle swirl of looped synth/guitar chime and texture that recalls Os' solo work as
Carbon Boy.
