Shlohmo – Places.
Any new artist who’s not trying to get beats off the homies is trippin’ right now. If you’re trying to get beats off like Timbaland or someone like that, you’re trippin’ on some old shit. The smart people are going to go and get a beat off Nosaj, or Hudson Mohawke – someone like that.
Or Shlohmo. “Places” starts off in left field neo-soul territory, but it slowly morphs into something more ambient. Oddball touches like white noise and the sound of a coin sliding across a table distinguish it as a product of LA’s thriving beat scene. Bilal, this one is all you. The Places EP comes out March 15.
