Hazy, downtempo RnB meets Boards Of Canada meets 'hypnagogic pop', Hype Williams occupy a sonic space which is ultimately completely their own.Perhaps it is the languid beats, maybe the grainy textures, but the music sounds incredibly nonchalant, drifting along at its own pace, motifs coming and going as they please. The rough-around-the-edges feel is part of the appeal, but at times I wish there was more of the precision-programming of my IDM heroes. Only sometimes though; for the most part this is excellent.
8/10
For fans of: Boards of Canada, J Dilla, Prefuse 73, Oneohtrix Point Never
