Smith & Mudd are back in fine style on Claremont 56, followng up their excellent LP with this great double header. "Sauna Love" is the lead track, an up-tempo, string-laden boogie house affair, as ever the instrumentation and playing is of the highest quality and the dance-ability is turned up. Great vibes, bass, strings and punchy percussion all rolling along into the sunshine. On side-B "The Surveyor" is a great piece of otherworldly electronic music, coming on like some weird cough medicine induced dream. The bass pulses along with mystery dialogue, light key flourishes and an intent that is delivered about 5 minutes in when the kick drops and the whole thing shifts into a latenight, alt disco bomb. Ace stuff again.
