Release Notes:
In the past few years, fresh incarnations of U.K. bass musicùdubstep,
grime, funkyùhave infiltrated U.S. ears and commingled with the already
left-field hip-hop scene here. The ensuing love affair between the
speaker-rattling styles has produced numerous artists, most prominently
L.A.Æs Flying Lotus and his Ann Arbor brethren Samiyam and Dabrye,
whoÆve subsequently made waves overseas, spawning the latest cycle of
bass-loving cross-pollination.
Glaswegian wunderkind Hudson Mohawkeùa.k.a. 23-year-old Ross
Birchardùis at the center of this new generation. On his debut album,
Butter, he playfully creates an abstract hip-hop fantasia, with moments
that are dark, frantic and fleeting and others that are breathy, fluid
and beautiful.
At times, his productions sound as if P-Funk and Outkast collided with
Prefuse 73ùtwo-minute cosmic funk workouts that are more sketches than
songs. A glimmer of hope for a more complete thought arrives with
ô3.30,ö which could have been beamed down by a J Dilla circa 2050. At
other times, the two minutes become two too many: ôTrykkö is crammed
with so many drum crashes and cheap MIDI horn sounds it comes off like
a digital Tasmanian Devil having at an orchestra hall.
Yet as the album continues, HudMo hits his strideàand itÆs a slower
one, as when he lets loose the half-time head-nodder ôZOo00OOm,ö in
which his taste for breakneck-pace glitch floats over a proper dubstep
beat. He also reaches equilibrium on ôRising 5,ö containing his
freak-outs in favor of syrupy, Sa-Ra-like boom-bap soul. All told, it
begs the question, is this what digital-age kids hear in their heads:
something sublime yet scatterbrained?
