Jlin's first release in three years is centered around a piece written for contemporary ensemble Third Coast Percussion.

Jlin's first release in three years is centered around a piece written for contemporary ensemble Third Coast Percussion. Like the majority of her work, the track consists of aggressive, interlocked rhythms, though this one seems to have an extra bounce to it, as it switches between parts that bring to mind trap and acid techno, and there's a greater dose of distortion than usual. It's mean and deadly, but at the same time, it's also immensely fun. "Auto Pilot" and "Connect the Dots" have longer stretches of speedy 4/4 kick drums than any previous Jlin track, resembling Detroit techno set to hyperspeed, but the rhythms constantly break down and re-form. "Rabbit Hole" is a bit lighter and seems to leave more space, with a rubbery synth line and robotic bleeps filling in some color. All four tracks are brief and concise, and as its title indicates, Embryo marks the start of something new. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
