Bleep

The latest drop from L.A. weirdo-beat peddlers Alpha Pup is an album of live takes from Maine four-piece Jaw Gems. With the group’s penchant for loping hip-hop swings, thick low-ends and wheezing synths, the comparisons with BADBADNOTGOOD and Flying Lotus come easily. However, the band’s touch is more focussed than both. For example, none of the Brainfeeder bunch would treat the groove of ‘Peace Pipe’ so tenderly for its duration.
