With huge echoing drum patterns and deep submerssive rounded bass throughout, this new Backxwash albums f**ks so goddamn hard.
Montreal based, Backxwash really broke out with this album. Myself, residing in Toronto, know how hard it is for domestic artists to get their voice out in this country, but with a voice and sound like this, it was surely hard to keep a lid on it. The driving fragmented sound clips on each track progress more and more song by song, giving a murky muddy broken earphone sound that is just crisply topped off with immensely powerful vocals.
Huge similarities with 'clipping.' but in the best way possible - a lot more diverse in the sound. Taking influences noticeably from a handful of genres and giving a truly rounded sound throughout. The closing track 'Redemption' is the icing on the cake, a great slow brake on a thorough project like this but if it was released as a single, would be perceived as a hard hitting track like the former.
100% a must hear.
