Boston-based producer Sae Heum Han makes a haunting impression on Dear God, an EP that shuffles creepy industrial atmospheres, primal techno and IDM glitches with expert sleight-of-hand. ‘Sun God’ is a chilling introduction, painting eerie images with its dripping synths and creaky metallic samples. Yet it lives up to the title, thawing out in the second half with rushing synths and a piano melody dappled with chimes and birdsong.

Elsehwere, ‘Facade’ builds tension with spine-chilling percussion and strings until the EP explodes into its first storm of noise and bass. It’s one of many examples of how well mmph sets careful trajectories over the entirety of Dear God, bringing to mind sonic puzzlemakers like Oneohtrix Point Never and Arca. The delicate bridge of ‘Past Lives’ channels R + 7 with blurred whispers and zero-gravity synths while the deceptively pretty closer ‘Blossom’ sounds like Arca’s molecular mutations unleashed on a Disney movie.

In fact, Dear God can conjure a seemingly contradictory series of influences at any moment: nimble melodies indebted to PC Music, Jlin’s sinister romanticism and Nicolas Jaar’s ornate sense of space. It makes sense – Han’s a young producer, but he’s too talented to let that overwhelm his vision.
