Headphone Commute Review
On a label "under the guidance of" Scott Herren (Prefuse 73), Joshua Mikah Abrams releases his first future jazz and instrumental hip hop album under the name Reminder. Abrams' experience, however, dates back to the 90s, with some notable contributions as a professional double bass player for The Roots' Organix, Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Yanqui U.X.O., and (of course) a couple of last albums for Savath & Savalas. Abrams is also a member of Town And Country, which has been consistently outputting downtempo albums for the Chicago's Thrill Jockey label. A little rough around the edges (which is a desired effect in the genre) the composition of trip-hop sampled beats, live instrumental deep grooves and urban rhymes from Thaione Davis, mark Continuum as an ideal entry level album. For the likes of Ninja Tune fans. Favorite tracks : Pinheiro's Message (with Akin's Portuguese spitting vocals), Now I Disappear and Dri (for its lo-fi jazzy vinyl sound).
Attention!!
Attention: Fans of underground hip-hop and experimental music, you are sleeping on this!! I hate reviewing stuff, so I'll be brief, but someone had to post a review of this one. Josh Abrams has been a bass player in the Chicago underground scene for quite some time, but this is his first disc as a solo artist. Having worked with Prefuse 73 and members of Tortoise in the past, these influences definitely come through, but Abrams clearly carves out his own niche in the post-modern beatworld, and scores again and again. Three solid guest vocal appearances and several tight instrumentals later, you end up with one of the best albums of the year, without a doubt.
