Besides being the mastermind behind Schlappi Engineering, Eric Schlappi has consistently produced great music over the years. His latest EP, Larval Beak, is a blend of sharp, hard-hitting electronic weirdness with heavy rhythms that skillfully balance abrasiveness and accessibility. Clocking in at around twenty minutes, Larval Beak presents a diverse array of ideas that may defy easy classification, but maintains a cohesive sound. The music exudes a raw energy, and while it can be intense, it's not harsh merely for the sake of being harsh; with a sense of purpose and warped melodies, the music is instantly enthralling and absorbing. Larval Beak is particularly captivating when played through powerful speakers, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the rich low-end frequencies.
