454 is already one of the most interesting artist at the moment and he has been producing for years and years but this new mixtape he put out on SoundCloud is genuine album of the year potential for me its so fun and mostly self produced which is crazy because the samples are from everything and everywhere and its just a perfect project, PLEASE do yourself a favor and listen
i could write for years about this album being the peak of sophistipop greatness. but i’ll leave you with just two things. one:
this man recruited RYUICHI SAKAMOTO to produce this and produce this he fuckin did. two:
roddy frame had this to say about the process aside from Sakamoto being a genius:
“Frame says his days there rapidly fell into a pattern. Into the studio in the early afternoon; out again at around 2am; straight across to a deli off Time Square for a turkey sandwich ('because it was possible to get one at two in the morning, and for no other reason'); a cab-ride back to the Mayflower; an hour or so listening to Shabba Ranks on a ghetto-blaster; bed.” LISTEN NOW.
To this day I haven’t watched a horror movie scene that shows the frenetic energy of watching bubba snatch her and throw her on a meat hook. haunted houses and horror media have been chasing that high ever since
