Stylish Rodent – Newfound Gaiety (Chartreuse)

‘Each track will be uploaded once I’m completely happy with them and feel they’re finished’ — Stylish Rodent has been slowly but steadily working on a new EP, titled Enigmatic. Listening to the three tracks he’s released so far, it’s going to be just that. A restless group of sounds indecisively vacillating between glitch and future bass, like the inside of his hyperactive mind. The latest single, Newfound Gaiety (Chartreuse), goes one step further. At times it can be sensory overload, to the point that a lot of its charm comes simply from trying to stay oriented as textures whirl around your eardrums. Alfie Morgan-Flower, the producer behind it all, has said himself, ‘this is the track I’m most proud of on this EP.’ And if you’re wondering ‘why Chartreuse?’, he explains: ‘Each strip of colour you see on the cover art represents a track on the EP. No real meaning behind this choice, just wanted to do something cool with the art direction for the release.’
