Bleep

There’s a strong case to be made to place James Ferraro as one of the more-important electronic artists to have worked over the last ten years. His various excursions never stay still yet influence many (witness Far Side Virtual, NYC Hell 3.00AM for measure of that). His return then, is welcome. On Skid Row, Ferraro holds up a black-mirror to his new home of L.A and what’s reflected is a gorgeously unsettling vision of abstract R&B-sampledelia– basking in dark interior minimalism, not Malibu Beach sunshine. A little like Dean Blunt’s recent work for Rough Trade, but much weirder, much (G)funkier. Way Ahead Of The Game, as per usual.
