Sticky Blood are back with 'Balance'

Sheffield production duo Sticky Blood, announce their follow up EP Blood Is Stickier Than Water.
Inspired by the sound that began to grow in the debut EP I.D, Andy Nicholson and Jamie Shield maintained focus on exercising fresh ideas for song structures; taking grime to 155bpm, encouraging MCs to explore ideas from a grime mind-set and apply it to a faster wonkier reality, taking R&B singers and applying their sonics to future pop style sounds, and twisting indie influenced songs to become explorative electronica.
Written and recorded at Red Bull Studios in London, Sticky Blood were able to refine the sounds of each track. Pitching up camp for a week within the studios and inviting a select number of collaborators to join them has ensured every sound and piece of energy has been captured magnificently within the EP.
As the introductory track to the EP, ‘Balance’ has a fluidity offset against a deep bass that hums throughout. It leaves you yearning to hear the rest of the EP, packed with substance but unsure of what direction the sounds of the remaining four tracks will take.
