About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) The first release for Hive sublabel Suspicious Records, Made Into Itself is smoke and poetry spun into crystalline threads of sound. Instrumental Hip Hop and heart-heavy tripnotica for a new listener - no bullshit cliches or worn out formulas guiding this release. Sticky beats, live violins, abused samplers, and silk-dripping voices have conspired to bring the sound of nighttime air and city solitude to life.
Made Into Itself is a dirty, city night masterpiece - recalling the best moments of Massive Attack's seminal Mezzanine album, Tricky's darker compositions, and the decks-on- Ritalin compositional genius of artists like DJ Signify and DJ Shadow, this album is a must have for fans of the genre. Pushing well outside the confines of Trip Hop and experimental Hip Hop, Leaf finds new veins coursing with beats and samples as obscure and disjointed as chinese mandolin and 70's irish folk and ties them together into a breathing, vibrant, gritty epic. Highly recommended listening for driving, fucking, or taking to a cold street at dawn.
We are very excited to release this masterpiece of cement and krylon, and we hope that you will find it every bit as beautiful and essential as we do.
Made Into Itself is available NOW from Suspicious / Hive Records.
