Forsyth Gardens, by Prefuse 73

Forsyth Gardens

by Prefuse 73

supported by

Nic Brown Nothing gladdens the heart quite like the release of new Prefuse 73 material and since this is the first part of a trilogy, a jig of pure delight seems in order. "Forsyth Gardens" is lovely stuff; abstract and jazzy but warm and soulful too, with a languid grace that should have fans of Flying Lotus and the Brainfeeder crew drooling. Buy this (and the next two instalments) if you know what's good for you. Favorite track: You Are Now Poison.

about

It has been four years since Guillermo S. Herren released anything significant from his most famous and respected moniker, Prefuse 73 (though he did keep busy with live shows, collaborations, and remixes). That's a long time for virtually any artist, but it's an eternity for Herren, whose first three Prefuse 73 albums dropped in the span of four years. As if to make up for lost time, 2015 will see the release of not one, but three major works from Prefuse 73. After several albums that saw Herren progressively drift away from the beatmaking prowess that made him synonymous with emotionally resonant, damaged hip-hop, he’s found himself reinvigorated – thanks in large part to an emotionally draining, creatively cashed few years. As Herren puts it, "I’ve come back to hyper focusing – immersing myself in the sounds, rhythms, and formations that created Prefuse 73 in the first place. Recently, I’ve found a new life in the whole process of refining what I’ve created over the years as “Prefuse”. Right now I'm at my most confident and comfortable since 05/06." It shows. The first of a triptych of new recordings, Forsyth Gardens revels in the kind of compassionate complexity that marks Prefuse 73's greatest works. His ability to marry the manic to the melodic is uncanny, and here it feels downright magical.

The tracks are stark, but rich - harsh, yet inviting. Hazy drones are met with pounding keys and bobbling chimes. The album claims a dreamlike quality, threading a gentle cadence within an uncertain soundscape. a wizard's familiar
