Description:
When prolific beat junkie Scott Herren is at the top of his game, he's a musical mad scientist splicing and dicing multiple genres together to craft tunes that are a heady mixture of head-nodding beats and hedonistic pleasure-textures. And right off the bat, on track two, "With Dirt and Two Texts," it's clear that Screenings is a return to form for Herren. Imagine Boards of Canada in love with hip-hop; that's what you have here. There is very little guest vocalizing this time; it's more of a "background" album, in the best sense. The whole thing buzzes with the blurry experimentation of Herren's Savath and S
