Marshall Watson 'Sunsets on Larkin part 2' [NUNS036D] SAMPLER by NuNorthernSoul published on 2021-06-28T14:42:07Z Early support from Sasha / Bill Brewster / Severino Horse Meat Disco / Nick Warren / Tom Novy. Like its predecessor, Sunsets on Larkin (Part 2) expertly showcases Watson’s intrinsic grasp of mood and melody, offering a quintet of colourful, quietly evolving soundscapes and slow-motion groovers laden with dreamy chords, sun-baked guitars and hazy, life-affirming aural textures. ‘Evergreen’, the EP’s opening salvo, is a neat distillation of Watson’s take on sunrise-ready Balearic music – all yearning chards, delay-drenched jazz guitar solos, undulating bass and relaxed, reverb-heavy beats. ‘Get Out There and Be Somebody’, the track that follows, lives up to the positive message of its title. More groove-based, with deep dub disco bass and mid-tempo Balearic disco beats, the track sounds like a sun-down jam session between Prins Thomas, Jonny Nash and Gigi Masin. Watson continues to explore the more groove-based side of his work on the similarly chunky, kaleidoscopic and vibrant ‘Standing in Circles’, where a similarly-framed bassline and rhythm track provide the platform for starry electronics, deep space chords, and ear-catching, effects-laden guitar motifs. You’ll find more intergalactic electronic sounds – along with some alien-sounding synth stabs and boogie-influenced synth-bass – on the languid slow dancer that is ‘Hints of Blue’. Fittingly, Watson has chosen to end the EP with arguably its’ most magical and mesmerising moment: the near eight-minute wonder that is ‘High Tide’. Reflecting his long-held love of deep house, the track layers lapping waves of sumptuous electric guitar sounds and time-lapsed chord sequences onto unfussy house beats and another chunky, dub-influenced bassline. Whether you dance to it or use it as a soundtrack for post-club wind downs, ‘High Tide’ will worm its way into your subconscious and gently warm your soul.
