Due to the brevity of ‘ZUU’, it’s hard to enjoy these songs without wanting more. But the material that Denzel Curry brings to the table on this album is infectiously catchy and hard to not dance to.
From the shitty mixing on numerous tracks to the offensive vocal chops and the piss-poor writing on nearly every song on this album, GFOTY managed to pull through with one of the most obnoxious, absurd, and obscure albums I’ve heard in 2019. With all that said, you can’t tell me this is a serious project. Everything on this album feels like she is trolling those that enjoy her material, and for the most part, it worked.

BLURB:
Tangram is a unique blend of sample-based music along with elements of hip hop and jazz, melding into a scattered but connected album that's incredibly creative and thoroughly impressive.

BLURB:
Very few records sound as simple or naturally homemade as There Is Love in You, but each component combines to create an album that's greater than the sum of its parts.

BLURB:
For as expansive as it is, Four Tet's latest effort - at least for me - is yet another unimaginative foray into the sounds of microhouse and ambient. As this album progresses, the ideas run thin, and the songs get pretty stale.

As it stands, Erratics & Unconformities is one of the choicest pieces of progressive electronic I've heard in a while. Not anything new for the genre, however, it's equal parts heady and cerebral.
