- Tornado Wallace's Always Twirling EP is the Australian producer's second effort on Delusion of Grandeur. With the reception of his Paddlin' EP as warm and gratifying as the beats themselves, it's no surprise his latest release plays on much the same mid-tempo vibe. The highest compliment that can be paid to Always Twirling is that it doesn't coerce one type of response. It allows a person to react to whichever layer they're drawn to. You want to sway? Lose yourself in the depths of the lower register. You want to groove? Tune your ears to the vocal. You want to sit down? Just allow the filtered pulse wrap around you.
The throbbing beat in "Always Twirling" is complemented by an emotional vocal sample announcing Tornado Wallace is "back to let you know, he can really, shake 'em, down." This track, and the rest of the EP, live up to this sentiment. In trying to prove his wares, however, Wallace's production isn't overwrought. The deep beats give an extra sense of calm and restraint. "Twirl and The Beanstalk" is as intense as it gets—and even that's tempered with a mellow vocal hook. "Whispering Twirl" is an appropriate name for the B-side, a simpler more sedate comedown that caps this excellent chapter in the continuing success story of both Tornado Wallace and Delusions of Grandeur.
