Infusing electronic music with hip-hop, I find Ryan Hemsworth's tracks here to be interesting, imaginative, and, at various points, captivating. Perhaps most interesting is that Ryan's music has a melancholy, almost mournful, feel to it, best exemplified by the delicate 'Colour & Movement' and the stunning coda of 'Overthinking'. My main problem with Last Words however, is that in comparison to Ryan's original tracks the four remixes at the end of the EP are somewhat uninspiring. Shlohmo's woozy remix of 'Colour & Movement' and Supreme Cuts' airy remix of 'Overthinking' are both pleasant without adding much to the EP, while I find Baauer's trap remix of 'Slurring' and Sam Tiba and Canblaster's 'Charly's Mask Shop' to be pretty boring. All in all, Ryan Hemsworth's songs on Last Words are great and deserved to be listened to. Just do not expect much from the accompanying remixes.
