Crescent - “Mercy”

Young Léon Crescent has just recently popped up in the Melbourne scene. Having already been scoped out by renowned collective //This Thing// and having a release lined up, he is headed for big things. He has chosen his introduction to be mysterious and unique. His sound, above all, is a mix of different distinguishable genres. The most apparent might be the strong Chicago footwork element he uses. The soft sinewave bass line is all present. On top of which sit filtered, watery shakers and light snare taps. Pitched up vocal picks from Kanye‘s “Mercy” makes a ridiculously good mix with this new sound, self-dubbed ‘housework’. I pray this is the beginning of a worthy Australian footwork scene.

Crescent will be releasing his debut EP on the 16th of April via //This Thing//. It is available for pre-order on cassette and digitally on the //This Thing// website.
