: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Col≤n Man is the exceptional debut album proper by visionary :,
: Jamaican dancehall artists Gavin Blair (Gavsborg) and Jordan :
:' Chung (Time Cow) plus their extended crew, aka Equiknoxx - once ':
,: again for Demdike Stare's DDS label. Where their widely :,
: acclaimed Bird Sound Power primer compilation, issued on DDS in :
:' 2016, brought the rest of the world up to speed with the music ':
,: produced between late '00s and 2015, their first album now :,
: brings a 2020 sound into sharp, technoid focus thru a baker's :
:' dozen steely, heat-seeking riddims galvanised with clinical ':
,: electronics and a Midas Touch approach to sampling. :,
: :
:' ':
,: The record's title, C≤lon Man refers to a Jamaican tale (and :,
: song) about a mysterious character, whom, like Marcus Garvey, :
:' was one of over 100,000 Jamaicans who returned from working in ':
,: C≤lon on completion of the Panama Canal - regarded among the :,
: greatest feats of engineering known to humankind, physically :
:' connecting the greatest bodies of water on the planet. In ':
,: context of the album, Gavsborg and Timecow take the story as a :,
: metaphorical foundational for a roots and future sound, :
:' acknowledging the vital groundwork of previous generations of ':
,: producers, whilst soundly contextualising their mutant new :,
: advancements of Jamaican Dancehall. :
:' ':
,: :,
: Recorded between December 2016 and June 2017, Col≤n Man forms a :
:' stark, stripped down and conceptually blinding record. In tone ':
,: and texture, the duo favour far colder, more abstract sounds, :,
: crucially lit up with sparingly used samples that lend the :
:' record its dissonant, harmonic colour and bittersweet hooks, ':
,: stylishly feeding forward their playfully weird sense of humour :,
: into a rugged, nutty and even noisily imagineered set. :
:' ':
,: :,
: Bookended by the gauzy, Detroit-compatible synth looks and acid :
:' hall grind of Kareece Put Some Some Thread In A Zip Lock, and ':
,: the mesh of Motor City sleekness with Far Eastern strings on :,
: Waterfalls In Ocho Rios, they distill and diversify their bonds :
:' in myriad ways across the album. There's a killer ':
,: dancehall/trap hybrid in the percolate chorales and man trills :,
: of Plantain Porridge, along with the secretive :
:' dub-into-dancehall transfusion of Addis Pablo's melodica in the ':
,: belly rolling Melodica Badness, while Ceremonial Eating Dog and :,
: the hyaline designs of We Miss You Little Joe - a tribute to :
:' their pal Alty Nunes - are arguably the most fwd Jamaican ':
,: riddims you'll hear in 2017, and Enter A Raffel... Win A Falafel :,
: uncannily recalls the clockwork mechanics of Haruomi Hosono's :
:' Alternative 3, from his S-F-X [1984] LP. ':
,: :,
: :
:' No matter what electronic box or boxes you subscribe to, Col≤n ':
,: Man is a hugely inventive, compelling album for the ages, a :,
: remarkable iteration of Black Secret Technology for 2017 and far :
:' beyond. ':
