about

Worthy as it is compact, this project is an instrumental beat tape with something different - Mr. Hill’s ongoing search in the form of his singular texture and phrase.

Blending aspects of all Black Music - Hip-hip, jazz, R & B, soul, and blues - he features compatriots who lend that much more personal freshness. Respectively on bass and kit, Junius Paul and Makaya McCraven are joined by Brett Willams on effectual Rhodes.

The tape also entails compelling dialectic from an interview had earlier this year in the city. In it, legend-drummer Marvin Bugulu Smith and Hill transparently approach meditation, oneness with the universe, and how these might touch - and be touched by - the music of the everyday world.
This project is a wonder-filled opportunity to receive by giving - in imitation of Mr. Hill's always-inspiring Attentiveness.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell. 2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do! Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️ Crinklechips
