Chronique Hilly Dilly
Portland’s Sapient is responsible for representing a progressive new angle to hip-hop production
that keeps hip-hop moving in a interesting direction. His percolating synths and melodramatic guitar chords woven into his instrumentals are instantly recognizable. All the best producers have
developed their own “sound” and Sapient is definitely one of those producers. Tusks! is the first volume in the Eaters album series. The plan is to release a string of albums with each volume
having a different theme. The theme for Tusks!, in Sapient’s own words “is an ivory-wielding instrumentalesque giant”. Tusks! is mainly full of instrumentals but does however feature a few tracks
with vocals on them. The instrumentals showcase Sapient’s ability to articulate elephant sound effects, movie excerpts, pitched vocal samples and enough other various sounds within his peerless
production to keep the attention span of a 3 year old.
L'addition : Une Bombe ! Ce jeune producteur blanc de l' Oregon est un Beat Maker de génie. Après avoir fait une demi-douzaine d'albums bien tassée, voilà qu'il nous pond un album à 90% instrumental. Premier d'une série de plusieurs albums à thèmes, Eaters volume one : Tusks ! est une petite boucherie pachidermique qui vous conduira certainement à gratter dans sa discographie solo, en duo (Debaser) ou avec son crew (Sandpeople).
