Description
Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol.II EP� is the four track Hyperdub debut from Hype Williams, a group with two core members who have spawned a steadily growing labyrinth of hermetic, audio/visual surrealism over the last year, and have attracted the attention of many inquisitive and occasionally confused eyes and ears. TIP!!Hype Williams� hazy aesthetic gives these tracks an opiated glow from the get go. �Rise Up� buries Inga Copeland�s soft untrained vocal in slow kicks and the most warm, ecstatic chords this side of early New Jersey Garage. The rough dub feel and hand punched drums of �Boss Man� are matched with cloud-like Detroit chords and smudged melodies that sound like they�re borrowed off a lost Wiley Sino-Grime classic.
�Farthing Wood Dub� rubs together smooth chords reminiscent of 808 State�s �Pacific State� with an Augustus Pablo-styled melodica, while ccasional jump cut edits and awkward melodies stop the track from feeling too settled. The last track �Bad Mind� plays out the awkward juxtaposition of graceful rounds of Japanese-sounding synths that gently chime behind the entrancing gloom of a poetry recital over a winding bassline. Hype Williams' odd sounding musical narcotics seem perfectly at home on Hyperdub.
