Crackboy
2011 | Acid | Deep House | Techno |
"It's rare that songs this slow have so much visceral power." Resident Advisor
Back
once again, Tigersushi present a brand new artist to their versatile
and genre bending label in the form of Crackboy and the single ‘House
of Ill Fame’. Like his predecessor ‘Yes Wizard’ little is known
about Crackboy other then his own ambiguous references to music
making with guitars as drums, influential doses of Poppas from his
piers and Botox sessions as firm plans for 2011. Like the psychedelic
artists of the 70’s it is clear that Crackboy has either disheveled
his mind from too many introspective spiritual journeys, or he is
simply sheltering from the ludicrous demands of the real world by
letting the music speak more sense then himself.
With
this in mind we present a 2 track 12” consisting of A-side ‘House
of Ill Fame’ and B-side ‘Speakwrite’. Both tracks sounding very
Balearic with firm a nod to the real House and Techno sound of early
90’s, whilst taking influence from some of the more “progressive”
sounds of the European artists such as Loco Dice and Luciano. In his
own words Crackboy reaches for the higher echelons of the Music
Production History books by citing “Lee Perry, Martin Hannett,
Prince and all the radiophonic works...” as his teachers. However,
half way through both tracks you would be hard pushed not to recall
Carl Craig ‘Landcruising’ in ‘House of Ill Fame’ or Derrick
May and Graham Massey‘s earlier during ‘Speakwrite.’ Both
moments greet us with lush and psychedelic moments that can only come
from a twisted mind with a real affection for bringing us all back to
the future.
Well
the beginning for Crackboy is here, in this EP, but the future will
see more release and a live shows. But before we get there, lets
relish the moment.
