Wyred Folk out now!

About Me

Wyred folk£5.99 MyGen Profile GeneratorWith the follow up to his "Divided Reality" release, 2econd Class Citizen has put together one of the most interesting instrumental Hip-Hop excursions of recent times: Wyred Folk. Swinging between melancholy and pure anger, strong guitar riffs mined from psych rock records and the weeping voices lifted from old folk music, 2CC seems to find his real home in a crate of old and dusty vinyl. There is a beat but this is not Hip Hop – at least not as we know it. Yes, there are guitars, but this isn't folk music anymore. An anonymous voice sings of being lonely within a hundred other voices and there is this music with a new sound, yet, somehow, it is still the old sound — the old loneliness. It is just that now we are listening to it again, for the first time – and we want to listen. Because here are the accents and here is the feeling that Hip Hop may have lost.
Quotes UK:
“This is great, really original and beautifully packaged”
Strictly Kev (DJ Food / Ninja Tune)
“One of the most interesting and captivating blends of styles and sounds you'll have heard in a while.”
ATM Mag UK
"Wyred Folk is a densely layered, melancholy tinged mini masterpiece" (5/5)
www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk
“Really really nice stuff. The sort of thing that makes you glad to still use vinyl.”
Mr. Trick (Needlework/Rhythm Incursions Radio)
“Definitely one to keep an eye on.”
The Fly Magazine UK
"2CC's formula essentially equates to mournful strumming, trip hop drums, monastery vibes and Radiohead's 'Street Spirit', covering the overlap of paranoia and stoned bliss." 5/7
Matt Oliver (One Week to Live) Quotes Germany:
"The perfect Soundtrack"

"Folk music that you can nod your head to”
Goon Magazine
