Bleep

A bumper collection from Sharp Veins here. detritus preterit selections continues down the path that the New York producer began to tread on 2017’s bleeds colors and puddles. Some of the tracks - ‘little worm’, ‘a third bird v1’ - are still rooted in the instrumental grime and Eski-adjacent style that characterised early releases such as Inbox Island. However, there is an abrasive, noisy edge to many of the takes here that gives the record a rough-and-ready feel. For instance the grizzly noise of ‘couldn’t sleep v1 [137]’ has few club pretensions, while ‘hi winder MENU MUSIC [85]’ is a dog-eared recording that recalls the foggy tapes of early Hype Williams.
