About this item

Wen makes his debut on Big Dada with "Carve + Gaze" following evocative and brooding productions for Tectonic, Keysound, and Soundman Chronicles. Inspired in part by "Gaze Theory", "Carve + Gaze" began as the soundtrack to rainy late night drives through his town of Margate, Kent. These nightly downpours became a kind of opaque sealant across the four tracks that eventually became the new EP. Future proof as a Swiss army knife with a dystopian, apocalyptic disjointedness, the EP should be easily digested by our fractured and disenfranchised society in 2017. Exuding the same kind of dramatic tension as a phone call between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, it's an uneasy, challenging listen which is, in turn, highly engrossing and edge-of-your-seat stuff.
