Originally pressed as an ultra-limited, hand-signed 10” release, GLK’s My Troubled Mind was bumped into the digital universe courtesy of Flying Lotus’ Brain Feeder label earlier last month. Known around the world for his wicked DJ sets (e.g. his Hella International 2009 set), GLK has shown some promising signs of evolving beyond the turntables and into a well-rounded producer on his latest release. The short EP format works well with regard to artists such as GLK who have a tremendous club-scene buzz. Though the total runtime may be lacking, the three out of seven tracks that are actually songs can be best labeled as re-grooved soundtrack music for Roger Corman movies, or other B horror films from the '50s and '60s. GLK develops an incredibly moody mindscape over a very short period of time; he successfully takes the listener on a trip through his house of 1,000 organ grinders and a carnival of theremin echoes, all backed by his lead-foot drum programming. As a forecast of things to come, the future-psych music displayed throughout My Troubled Mind is a great teaser dose to keep the diehards interested in upcoming releases. - Bryan Covet
