"Reed steps out of the comfort zone of genres-- both self-invented and preexistent-- and creates overcast, suffocating sonic landscapes." Pitchfork

"Shaved’s sonics bristle with sparse percussion, static and reverb while occasionally donning boots made of bass large enough to crush your soul…sitting perfectly with the rest of Warp’s new recruits and ensuring that a new decade for the label opens in suitably peculiar hands." FACT

"He makes music that pretty much sounds like living in a haunted house and has lately been throwing chopped and screwed mixes out into the world with astonishing ferocity." The FADER

Babe Rainbow has just dropped his new EP “Endless Paths” and is streaming the stunning cut “Set Loose.” The Canadian producer made us laugh with the Richard D. James-esque music video for “It’s All Happening,” but with the new song “Set Loose” (found on just released EP “Endless Paths”), Babe Rainbow mesmerizes and the washes of synths, reverb-laden, hand-clapped beats and disembodied voices. This is electronic music as it should be—beautiful, revelatory, and so good it makes every other music project seem just okay.

“Set Loose” is already one of the best songs of 2011 and a perfect soundtrack for the summer—one that can be put on a loop without the risk of growing old. It’s just wave upon wave of electronic beauty in the tradition of Boards of Canada, the ambient work of Aphex Twin and Odd Nosdam. The rest of the “Endless Paths” EP explores darker, more schizophrenic shades to great effect.
