![]() ![]() I'm Into You hoists itself on Faker's one-take croons, a croon you can see/hear when he plays a third show at The Toff on April 19. Smartly opting for a debut EP rather than a whole album, Faker's lounge stylings and layered arrangements come off like Burial and Shai getting in the mood for love. ![]() He sounds like Stevie Wonder in space.ĬHET FAKER - THINKING IN TEXTURES (OPULENT/REMOTE CONTROL)ĪT the meagre age of 23 years, bearded boy wonder Nick Murphy has already topped Hype Machine with his omnipresent cover of Blackstreet's sexual fantasia No Diggity. But Frank Ocean - that hipster fave who dropped out of the Future Music Festival - steals the show with the haunting R&B ballad White. The internet's groovy psy-soul Ya Know is, happily, no mere outtake from their debut album Purple Naked Ladies. However, these days OF are multi-faceted, having branched out into R&B. And, surprise, surprise, some of it is casually - and provocatively - misogynist (the oh-so-predictable Real Bitch from MellowHype and Taco). There's an abundance of minimal hardcore hip-hop here, such as the anti-trance Rella. The mysterious horrorcore rapper Earl Sweatshirt joins them on the posse-cut Oldie. THE Odd Future collective are back with a mixtape camouflaged as an album. ![]()
