The Presets – Anywhere

• 16th Dec 2008

Unusually for The Presets ‘Anywhere’ represents a slight departure from the larger beats they have been known to create, this dark and melancholy trance like track just sits in the subconscious only keeping you from drifting off into the ether with an uncommon beat.

It’s a comedown, relaxed and slightly despondent sound, closer to the Smiths and Morrissey, had they played with 808’s as opposed to daffodils and guitars, it even comes across as a laid-back Underworld’s ‘Born slippy’ disaffected cousin.
The remixes don’t necessarily ‘Re’ as much as ‘Mix’ they float into each other and blur the lines between when one remix ends and another begins, which strangely fit the tracks feel completely.

Taken from the album ‘Apocalypso’, ‘Anywhere’ is the last track and is best appreciated as such- the last track of the evening after a long set, spent but content, reflective and serene.
