Essex-based trio Statues have made their presence felt with a string of impressive singles for a variety of labels from Sweden’s Lovely and Plastic Idol in the US. Here they offer up their timely summer breezer ‘Clear Skies’ with crystal cleat synth lines evocative of John Carpenter or Tangerine Dream powered by a simple but effective groove. Coyote Ambient are the first of two guests invited to remix it, and theirs is more of a classic 90s chillout reworking, while Vendetta Suite combine a similar vibe with some soaring solar guitars and live drums. Another original from Statues, ‘The Creek ‘, completes the package, with arpeggios melded with organic voices and guitars.
