Coming soon: UK Garage

Review: Gary “Gaz” returns with four more skewed UK garage cuts under the Steak Baked Garage Bakes banner, following hot on the heels of his first EP, not to mention an accompanying myth alleging a certain Greggs-pastry binging excess on the part of the artist. As ever, the music’s as daft as it is deadly, with ‘Gary Loves Garage’ dialling in signature chordwork (emphasis is placed on the dominant seventh sharp ninth, an apparent harmonic staple of speed garage) with the sort of reverence that’s turned Gaz into a kind of postcode-specific myth among local "deep garage dads". ‘Gary Visits NYC (BA Premium Economy)’ goes on to help us imagine a recent attempt at a trip that never quite happened, derailed by Wetherspoons and terminal confusion; finally, 'Gary’s SP1200’ is a wonky lament to gear forever just out of reach, while ‘Gary’s Pad Patterns’ celebrates his most prized Zip disc like a sacred text.
