On the most restrained track of the EP, 'Abstract Thoughts', Cato's characteristically clipped snares are accompanied by reverb-soaked brushed hats. A series of minor key trills, perforated by a noise gate, evoke the rarified serenity of Oriental instrumentation; then the lead synth comes in, and we go from Far East to the west: a purple funk line reminiscent of Bristol.
