Bleep

The triumphant return of game-changing Scottish-born super-producer Hudson Mohawke, following up the hiatus-breaking B.B.H.E., continues with the characteristically wacky Airborne Lard. Hallucinogenic and deeply psychedelic, this album sees HudMo yet again defy genre with a host of technicoloured productions which bridge the gap between hip-hop instrumentals and electronic music. Tracks like the sample-happy backwards guitars and wayward vocal snippets of ‘3_2’ amble along with a wonky pace, showing that HudMo still sounds like no one else on earth. ‘Be Ur Fantasy’ struts along like a jubilant parade, as swooping strings and marching band percussion accompany clipped R&B vocals. Then, there’s always the ever-present meaty, scuzzy bass.
