Ex Liars member Aaron Hemphill reveals his first solo outing, a collection of far-reachng glitch experiments a la Alva Noto or late 90s IDM mixed with abstract, hip-hop tempo tracks like ‘The Timeless Now’. Hemphill deliberately buries his vocals under layers of noise and manipulated samples to deliver some kind of warped re-imagining of Edan or similar leftfield hip-hop. There’s no rapping though, just meandering barely there mumbling which only adds to the atmosphere. Part concept album about memories and sensory experience, Scented Pictures was recorded in Berlin over the past couple of years.
