Zane Lowe-endorsed dubstep, that's what I like. Not heard this bass-felching monster before but I like the voodoo-tinged sleeves. It opens up well with some nice chinkling effects and a powerful all enveloping sound......then it goes all Jamie Woon. I don't understand this music. I don't like divas singing on records never mind some bloke who thinks he's R Kelly but sounds like he's singing into the arse end of haddock in a fish 'n' chip shop up Tottenham Court Road. I don't like a lot of pop music that's occurred since it jumped on the dubstep/bass music juggernaut. I'll leave that to proper mad gleeful oldies like Annie Nightingale. She "gets" all this urban pop shit. Like, I dug Disappear by Katy B and that's it. I'm gonna have to endure loads of this at festivals this summer aren't I? That means I'm going have to get mortalled otherwise I'm gonna stumble round with a face like a slapped arse glaring at everyone. On the plus side the production on this album is fucking brilliant, muscular and shiny-bright with bags of sound-system battering power. 'Sanctuary' is a belting tune until the those shitting vocals come back in and ruin everything. Actually I'm warming to this CD gradually as there's plenty of variation in scope and it's very catchy too. I just don't want to admit I'm enjoying it...no I'm not, yes I am, no I'm not this is awful. But it's kind of great too. Right, ciao, I'm off for my dinner, pumpkins.
Young Turks are excited to announce the release of SBTRKT’s self-titled full length debut.
SBTRKT’s debut album pulls off a series of impressive feats, bursting with fresh ideas, and yet sounding immediately familiar. Its sound-patterns and rhythms can easily soundtrack the ecstatic hands in the air dancefloor moments as well as reliving the monotony of the morning commute. Its influences are incorporated with subtlety and sophistication: dense enough to interpret, light enough to dance to.
While he has had multiple releases in single and EP forms, this is his first full length, and about that he says “This release is the culmination of a longer period of constant writing and collaboration, tracks on previous EPs were written as singular pieces. This record is much more of a whole project, more representative of my thoughts and ideas as an artist and each track was completed with the aim to be coherent together.”
Available on CD and LP. Also available exclusively to independent retailers is a special edition of the vinyl featuring a bonus 7” of unreleased material. This edition is strictly limited to 750 copies.
