The likes of Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge have championed his
work so far and when you hear this, his debut album, it is easy to
see why. Brighton based Victor is someone who obviously sits
comfortably within his musical surrounds. This is a record that
flows effortlessly, with tracks that harbour beautiful instrumental
arrangements and that cleverly play with time and beat arrangements
Mother Savage Pt 1.
It's difficult to draw comparisons to an album like this. The
powdery delicacy of his jazzy, drum and bass excursion 'I Rocked
Shut' wafts slightly of a sifted Roni Size number, and with the
funky 'Lone Wolf' he demonstrates all the jazzual dexterity the
Silent Poets paraded on 'To Come'.
He breezes in some truly glorious orchestral arrangements and
eastern influences (Pussy) that wouldn't be out of place in a
Hollywood film score. The laid back bossa nova style of his new
single Trying begins with a single plucked guitar like some archaic
folk tune and then drips into a mesmerising throng of hummed
vocals, bass and sliding percussion.
He has achieved more with this debut than many others could ever
hope to achieve. This could be the start of something very special
indeed.
