Infected Senses – New Normal EP
Release Date: Out Now
As ever, Exeter’s Infected Senses
are tapping in to the zeitgeist with their latest release, ‘The New Normal EP’.
The experimental electro side project of the infamous DJ Louie Louie opens this
new salvo with ‘Remain In Doors (Cabin Fever Edit)’, a track so full of
carnival energy, big beats and horn blasts that the last thing you want to do
is, in fact, remain indoors. In normal times, this one would have us all arms
in the air (like we just don’t care) in packed tents full of glowsticks, face
paint and questionable shirt choices. This is followed up by the ‘Belgium New
Beat Extended Mix’ of ‘Remain In Doors’ which doubles the length and adds a
certain, intangible sinister vibe to proceedings. The brief collection is
rounded off with ‘Frequently’, a far more sedate affair with a repeated refrain
of “Frequently clean your hands” emerging from the 1984-esque doom synths to
embed itself firmly within your psyche. As much as I’m sure Infected Senses
would baulk at the idea of teaming up with BoJo & Co., this would be an
effective mantra to have played out of speakers on every street corner. Dystopian
disco anyone? Dysto-disco even?
