Tom Iansek thinks “hip hop is where the most exciting production in music is happening today.” Bless him. The second single from the new Big Scary album uses a skittering, syncopated drum loop that I suppose in a very broad way bears the marks of hip hop production, but has more in common with the experimental electro coming out of the UK. Fans of Bon Iver might also hear something familiar. Anyway regardless, this is a staggering work of loveliness, more linear than some of their other work but also more mature and maybe a little more commercial. It’s only a matter of time before Big Scary break super big and this could be the song to do it. Amazing.
