A Prefuse Sunday

Gosh, I’ve been busy today, the upside being that I have been able to play plenty of fine music as I have worked. Prefuse 73’s ‘Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives’ has been banging out of my speakers aplenty. This is a cracking recording, full of funky samples and bass heavy riddims (sorry, S) and somewhat unusual for a Warp Records CD for those very reasons. My word, it borders on hip-hop at times. Of course, I have borrowed the expression, ‘Uprock Narratives’ for the title of this self-indulgent bag of tosh along with an unsubtle Joy Division reference. I note that Prefuse 73 are playing this Easter’s All Tomorrows Parties festival along with Suicide and Blues Explosion and many acts I have never, ever heard of.
