Melbourne’s shape-shifting post-punk outfit EXEK returns with A Casual Assembly, an EP that continues their deep dive into abstract dub, no-wave minimalism, and hazy experimental rock. Released on W.25TH — the experimental sub-label of Superior Viaduct — this record delivers four tracks of narcotic atmosphere and off-kilter precision.

Drifting basslines, spoken vocals, tape hiss, and reverb-drenched guitars combine into something that feels as much like a dream as it does a protest. A Casual Assembly is meticulously arranged but sounds like it’s coming apart at the seams — EXEK at their most understated and eerie.
