Description
More pure analog mastery from Omar S., and his first outing on Theo Parrish’s esteemed Sound Signature label. The formula calls for something exceptional, and that’s exactly what the man we’ve come to trust delivers, featuring 3 tracks of thorough artistic integrity and musical vision that epitomize the raw, emotional dance-music-expressionism that has become the standard with Omar S.’s productions. To say these records “capture the sound of the industrial” would be an understatement---and yet it would also do some discredit to the full breadth & range expression that these exceptional songs wield. Yes, they reflect an acute industrial malaise perhaps unique to Detroit with their cold, mechanic drudging, and yet at the same time, “Blown Valvetrain” serves as a testament to the particular beauty of artistic autonomy & originality, the tracks so unique, personal & squarely upfront in their aggressive & off-kilter drum patters, lo-fi analog gritiness & odd-boll unpredictability that only a producer of stoic artistic individuality could claim them as “his sound”---and that’s exactly what Omar S. has achieved over these last few years, taking on a style that is at once utterly trivialized, generalized & categorized so rigidly within the all-encompassing Detroit ideology, and still imprinting the everlasting stamp of irreplaceable individual perspective on this dogma, rejuvenating it’s claim & legitimizing it’s place as an aesthetic to be reckoned with. All this due to the stubbornness of a producer who refuses to take his cues from anyone but himself---Omar S.’s sound is truly self-determined.
