Megawatt R'n'B stars won't be the only ones to take note of Butter, as the ever-growing global network of bass-craving music fans have been clamouring for new material since Hudson Mohawke's lauded Polyfolk Dance EP earlier this year. On that record, HudMo's hyper melodic drum-and-synth sidewinders only hinted at the panoramic pop magic that was to come and with it he found himself name checked by the likes of Rihanna, Goldie, Sa Ra, Busy P, Flying Lotus, Mars Volta, and Crookers.
By enlisting a select crew of vocalists for the Butter sessions, Hudson Mohawke has painted his own version of twenty-first century smash hits. From the USA's East Coast comes Olivier Daysoul while Glasgow's buzzed-about Nadsroic adds her haunted brothel flow to "Allhot".
Lest one think Butter revolves exclusively around this impressive vocal spread, Hudson Mohawke also flexes his twisted pop genius for the beat-heads on the drunken drum barrage of "Gluetooth" and the feel good swagger of "Trykk". This is an album for the heart over the head, a genuinely positive, intriguing record set to win over dancefloors and bedrooms simultaneously. |
