THE PREDICATE: DUB VERSION

The Prefuse 73 producer tackles the source material with a cinematic approach, combining urban environmental sounds, whirring dub-tinged electronics and incisive drum programming. The opening tracks are squarely focused on texture, establishing a rich sonic language before 'Pavo Real Plucked' offers up a solid beat, dissolved strings and all manner of harmonious bric-a-brac and processed noise while 'Me Voy And Resolved' slips into an electronic shoegaze mode and 'Pajaros En Cadaques Shot' has a Latin-styled folk run-in with the sort of sliced-up, glossy production style Herren's famed for. Inevitably, this release isn't as instant or pop-friendly as La Llama, but it's every bit as immersive as a continuous thirty-minute foray into expertly processed song fragments and soundscapes.
