Prepare to Prefuse
The prolific Guillermo Scott Herren, working under his Prefuse 73 nom de musique, is back with another slab of digital dope, Security Screenings. writes that “Prefuse 73 sounds like a cyborg creation caught in a time trap somewhere between the hot buttered soul of the 70s and the Mantronix-era vintage hip-hop of the mid-1980s.” That’s a fair enough description of his classic Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives, as well as the new disc just out from Warp Records. Herren takes bits of vocals (spoken or sung) and grinds them up into breathtaking soundscapes that are as melodically fascinating as they are beat-bumpingly groovin.
