Bleep

New Los Angeles label-head and producer KONE returns with this blissed-out odyssey of a long-player exploring the trippier realms of experimental beat-making. Cuts like Dig Two Graves and Wandering provide the kind of off-centre backing tracks that luminary MCs like MF Doom or Earl Sweatshirt could play with. On the other side of the LP, The Ride and Grizzly find KONE in a less conventional headspace, melding chewy electronics with staggered beats and heady synth motifs. Fluttering between influences of punk, old-school hip hop and boundless psychedelia, the East Hollywood creative pins down a sound of his own.
