EP: Innobushu – “Distraction”
Posted In EP,Experimental,Hip-Hop by Danny Wood
The Distraction EP marks a pronounced change in Inno’s approach to music. His previous sample heavy leanings are replaced with a more compositional approach: drawing inspiration from the likes of Jaco Pastorius and Norman Connors to create layers of dense synth progressions and glittering arpeggios.
The sound on offer here is equally both retrospective and forward thinking, combining a heady blend of 80′s soul/funk nostalgia with contemporary Electronic beats. Tracks like ‘You’re the Only’ starts on a deep pad vibe with vocoder snippets before switching up on the drop with some future Funk leanings. A contrast to the space-hop of ‘Hit the Road’, which metronomes itself up to the max. 6 Very distinguishable and tasty audible treats essential for late night reflections…
