With 'Untitled Three' the opening single for his forthcoming full-length, Burner, odd nosdam emerges from the smoking ruins of cLOUDDEAD, his brilliant and star-crossed collaboration with doseone and why?, with evidence of a renewed license to uncompromisingly chase the detours and dictates of his own inimitable aesthetic. 'Untitled Three' is from Burner's early stages, in which nosdam borrowed a dusty micro moog from a friend and began layering melodic lines. And as is true for the rest of Burner, 'Untitled Three' is by turns painstakingly quiet and intensely compressed; it marries rap-raw drums and deep-sea synths, and, in so doing, threads subtle hooks through the rim of one's attention.
'Untitled Three' commences and closes with odd nosdam's duets with Kranky Records vocalist Jessica Bailiff. One is tempted to refer to Bailiff's singing as 'unearthly' or, god forbid, 'ethereal' but her voice is too consistently passionate for such airy adjectives. Drunk with admiration of Clear Horizon (her recent collaboration with UK legend Dave Pearce of Flying Saucer Attack), nosdam rushed to contact her and send his music her way. They quickly found that their artistic voices, while possessing great divergence, also achieved a rarefied harmony, and they promptly set to work.
nosdam's sound creations tend to defy description, though many stabs have been made: Grooves imagined him as the midpoint between My Bloody Valentine and the Bomb Squad, CMJ suggested "Negativland-meets-Schooly D". XLR8R somewhat hyperbolically called his work "the most evocative soundtrack ever" and Splendid declared simply, "odd nosdam stands at the forefront of hip-hop's avant-garde". Any which way you look at it this is a record you ignore at your peril. |
