Altered Zones

Teams is the moniker of Miami-via-Knoxville sample artist Sean Bowie. In the past year, he released his debut EP We Have A Room With Everything on AMDISCS, a collaboration with Star Slinger on Mexican Summer, and a wealth of tracks that are available for free on his Bandcamp. His recent Catch Pool EP falls into the latter category. Its five, sample-based assemblages of animal sounds and throbbing drums, melodic tones and unidentifiable voices, range from the calmly beautiful to the irresistibly danceable. The second track, below, enters with a bang and a catchy beat, then alternates between moments of deep serenity and an increasingly intricate melody line. --Laura Brown, International Tapes
