KRANE is back with another letter in his name (note the a) and a collab with Ekali. The highly anticipated ‘Akira’ is everything you’d hope for from two of the most talented rising producers out. Cold keys and breathy soundscapes are interwoven with snapping snares for an auditory experience that feels like trekking across frozen tundra. Don’t let the desolate build fool you though, when the drop hits it’s full out war; mammoths fighting saber-tooths for king of the North status in a prehistoric battle. That’s just the beginning, the first drop morphs and bends into something even more visceral before drifting into a world of inhibited beauty. Thousands of years pass within seconds as the duo bring listeners into the future for a sound that’s ripe with intensity, uncertainty and an underlying allure.
