Tom Peters 'Control' on DESSERT

This new one from Tom Peters takes control of the room with a dark, confident stride. The drums roll on with steady work, never flashy, always purposeful, carrying a groove that is as stubborn as it is smooth. It sits loud and tight against its peaks, every element locked in place. But the real weight here sits in the chords, thick and richly layered, they spread across the track in wide, shadowed arcs, pressing down with a sense of tension that never quite breaks. There is a persistent, calculated darkness across the top of it, a mood that feels like the last hour of a long night, when the floor has thinned out and the music turns inward.

It is a classic Peters move: rhythmic clarity, harmonic depth, and just enough restraint to keep the whole thing hovering in a state of controlled suspense.

This record is out now on DESSERT. A huge new single from Tom Peters, who has been turning heads since he first appeared on the scene in 2013, with releases on Get Physical, Selador, and Steyoyoke, as well as the much talked about 'Secret Weapons Part 14.2' on Innervisions. It is already gaining heavy support, including a placement on Massano's chart for The Theory EP.
