“Opposite of Low” is the second single from “Who Knows”, the new EP from Glasgow-based artist Jon Cooper a/k/a Turtle. “Opposite of Low” is built around a simmering drone of menacing electronics, clattering percussion, and a hypnotic repeating vocal figure; it’s the supporting elements, however, where the track is particularly special as Cooper expertly bends and molds varying swells of synth and other dynamics to create compelling points of tension and tautness. “Who Knows” is out March 3rd on Beatnik.
