Walking By Faith

Chicago producer Ellery Cowles lands on Apnea Records with three tracks that draw from the city’s foundational rhythms while reaching for something more devotional. Walking by Faith isn’t chasing nostalgia–it’s after deeper ground. “Fall of Jericho” kicks things off with syncopated Chicago swing colliding with latin percussion and acid basslines that curl and bite in equal measure. “Fly” builds around a looped vocal fragment, letting raw drum patterns stretch and breathe as the track slowly reveals itself. Closer “Crying of Yahweh” is the most patient of the three–seven minutes of hypnotic techno coiling around latin rhythms, carrying a quiet spiritual weight that lingers long after it fades.
