Monday Music: Under A Pale Moon EP – Marshall Applewhite

We’re back! That’s right faithful Geekscapists, we are back with another episode of Monday Music. I sincerely apologize for the lack of postings, as your resident “Resident Advisor” here I feel like I’ve failed you. I’ve not brought the beautiful creation that is music to your eyes and ears. Well, that’s about to change.

I was just shown this dark and spooky EP from the “Detroit Sludge” grandfather himself, Marshall Applewhite. Check out Under A Pale Moon below.

Under A Pale Moon is the latest from Late Night Munchies, the Alaska born/Seattle based record label helmed by House producer Tony H. This EP gave me chills.

A very recent sub-genre to the techno family, Detroit Sludge was co-created by Marshall himself. Featuring slower tempos, dark sub-bass frequencies, and oscillating mids, Sludge gives off an uneasy feeling to listeners. Deem’d the “anti-drug” of EDM, this genre is not for the faint of heart.

The titular track really evokes the feeling of dark, desolate space. The album art and the tune are PERFECT for each other. My personal favorite, Lice, feels different than most of what the genre has to offer. It’s very bubbly, and compliments the overall vibe of Under A Pale Moon. One of my criteria for a strong, long lasting song is its ability to be remixed and still retain the essence of the original piece. Sham is a song that should be remixed, it’s probably the best track on the EP.

You can listen to Under A Pale Moon right now on the Late Night Munchies SoundCloud, and pick up the EP yourself on December 19th.
