Bleep

Suicideyear and LuckyMe make perfect sense as a team, and the Baton Rouge sadboy’s debut EP for the label is a predictably heady broth. Taking cues from Aphex Twin, DJ Screw, Clams Casino and everyone in-between, the six tracks here evoke a unique ambience that can only be described as the feeling of watching smoke curl in the air. As one might expect from the title, the emotional makeup of Hate Songs is murky and brooding. While the crisp drum tracking of cuts like ‘Summer Hate’ and ‘Lagniappe (Spring Hate)’ brings to mind Atlanta titans like Zaytoven, the dense clouds of sound that float atop them are sombre things.
