Bleep

Ninja Tune unveil the hotly tipped new album from Romare, a psychedelic collage of American/African culture in the USA influenced tracks, perfectly designed to be played out or enjoyed in the comfort of your home. Following two choice 12"s for Black Acre Ninja snapped up the young producer for an EP and now they unleash his debut LP on the world. Projections is a heady mix of eccentric low-slung beats, threaded together like a tapestry and coated in a crackly haze; apparent from the start with the searing, ode-to-Nina Simone ‘Nina’s Charm’, before the cut up vocals on the catchy 'Work Song' and soul-laden, Detroit house swing of ‘Roots’. Whimsical ambient soul is seen on the dreamy piano riffs of ‘Jimmy’s Lament’, followed by the future-funk folk disco on the album highlight 'Rainbow'. In all, Projections could be seen as equal parts Mr. Scruff, Four Tet (at his housier) part Theo, you know what to do.
