Tangence

Go ahead and laugh at what I’m about to say, but it’s true. Tangence‘s “We Are the Earthquake” EP has all the signs that there’s already a “post-dubstep” movement, or at least some individuals are more interested in what dubstep was meant to be versus the bastardizing of it my fraternities and sororities across the nation. It’s hard to call something that uses so many dubstep elements, but what makes Tangence’s “We Are the Earthquake” inviting and enticing is the subtleness. Don’t get me wrong though, we’re not trying to paint Tangence into a corner and strictly label it as a specific genre. There’s plenty of other elements at work. Ambient drone, electronica, and hip-hop have all had their hands on what’s being made. On something that’s meant to be listened as an entire piece rather than an individual track, it’s difficult to call one song on “We Are the Earthquake” better than the rest–especially when it’s so listenable as one piece since it comes in at just over 15 minutes.–THOMAS D.
