Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Freewheeling downtempo pop meets surreal free-jazz rap in a double bill of visionary musical styles. Signed to Dean Blunt’s World Music, Bar Italia’s inventive bedroom soundscapes sound like some lost 90s Broadcast demos resurrected by Hype Williams. Plus Slauson Malone made some of the weirdest, most introverted no-genre rap of recent years; file on the top shelf next to Mike, Pink Siifu, Medhane, Infinity Knives."
