FUJAKO ‘LANDFORM’ (WORDSOUND)

Now this is underground. On the subterranean-as-muck WordSound label (past players: fleeting Jungle Brothers member Torture (recording as
 Sensational), Prince Paul, and members of New Kingdom), it may be approaching the summer season but this dub and echo saturated outing sounds like its two producer protagonists haven’t seen even a fleeting shard of sunlight in years. Warped and twisted beats threaten to mutilate your speakers, distorted and fractured vocals flit in and out of the mix (including a cameo from one-time Fun-Da-Mental man Scalper), and just for misanthropic kicks the whole shebang’s coated in an extra layer of grime and grit a la RZA’s experimental chamber on ‘Sub Crazy9. Challenging, intriguing, and guaranteed to scare the pants off small children.
