About this item

After a summer listening to grimy hip hop beats and hooks and with the help of producers King Honey (MF Doom) and J.Sprocesss, Apsera have left behind the overwrought psychedelia of their previous records (on which they are often lumped in with the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev) and opted for a more 80s pop production alongside elements of old school hip hop and the new school (ala Anti Pop Consortium) mixed with some experimental electronica of now (Boards Of Canada) and the electronica trailblazers (ala Brian Eno). The resultant subtle pop soundscapes have raw beasts, deep 808 / 909 textures and lush acoustic percussion.
