![]() One of their lesser known EPs, they recorded it in two days when they returned, taking the band in the first truly acoustic route. Sap is a mostly-acoustic demo tape that Grunge icons Alice in Chains wrote while they were away touring. Regardless, if you want some laid-back, well produced House that doesn’t take itself seriously, Receding Credit Line should be the EP of the moment for you. However, the long sample repeats itself a couple times, making it stale to listen to after a couple times. You know what that means? This is the highest quality… Fidelity you can get”, made me chuckle about how the salesperson clearly has no clue what he’s talking about. Receding Credit Line’s closing track, “Thanks, Buying This EP Funded My tk421 Upgrade,” is a very robotic, fast paced track which parodies salesmen and how they persuade you. The beat is heavily distorted, slightly more dubstep than “Consume Purchase Buy” and take on a harsh sound, accurately characterising the state of the economy. For the first time in the record, we hear some vocal work that isn’t sampling, deliciously processed into a heavily robotic sound. The EP’s title track “Receding Credit Line” is when the EP kicks it up a notch. Just thumping bass, heavier than the last two tracks and the same beat with such audio recordings as “Magic holy earplugs from the sacred candles.” It’s a decent track, which you can definitely dance to, but too repetitive for my likings. “Seeing a Dwarf Staring at You and Deciding to Follow It” is a track as serious as its name, with no clear message. “What you do is make the same song over and over again, and people love that shit. ![]() You could even call it a satirical record. Receding Credit Line doesn’t take itself seriously, though. It even opens with “Every time I’m disappointed with the current state of the music industry, I’m going drink some Jagermeister,” replied by “What are you gonna do? Why don’t you just buy an IV and put it in your fuckin’ arm.” A wobbly bassline reminiscent of Dubstep dominates the track, which works well, but doesn’t vary much throughout. Track two “Consume Purchase Buy” is another sample driven track of random musings about the music industry. ![]() ‘Piggy Went to Market’ is laid back for the most part, and good for when you don’t know what else you listen to, but there is a dark audio recording at the end, where a man appears to be confessing to someone that they are “A beast at night,” and has “to be crazy to survive.” It sets the listener on edge, and subliminally dictates how you listen to the rest of the EP. It sets the tone of the EP well, and is an adequate introduction to the record. The opening track ‘Piggy Went to Market’ is driven by an active bassline, broken up by 8-bit samples. Dubbed Receding Credit Line, this sample-focused electro release is a playful record set to put anyone in a good mood. In a contrast to the aggressive Powernoise of his main project C/A/T, Ben Arp has released the third EP of his delightfully House brainchild Captive Six.
