The elusive groove driven Pocket Shapes is the first solo single by Rome based Sergio Tentella (aka Set) a drummer / multi-instrumentalist /composer who is half of the electronic duo Elephantides and has worked with Gio Evan, Elisa Rossi, Rossana Casale (and more). The one man song that finds Tentella on his kit and varied synths begins with intricate off beats that my brain could not follow but wanted to desperately. As the arpeggios wrapped around the groove anchored deeply with a fuzzy bass synth and Tentella's forward pushed beat it felt like a meld of proto-electronica and future sounds. Thankfully, he leaves passages of space to breathe and pulsate as percussive synths drops fall spatially all around. I gleefully got lost in it all.
