Seattle-based emcee Onry Ozzborn and Chicago producer Zavala haven’t made a record together as Dark Time Sunshine in nearly a decade, but the two artists have remained plenty busy in that time with solo and side projects—in a addition to all the familial and health concerns that get in the way of cross-country collaboration. Yet LORE doesn’t miss a beat as a follow-up record to 2012’s ANX, carrying over the same dark, psychedelic-infused, hip-hop beats merging with Osbourne’s deep-vocal flow, as well as several of the same guest vocalists.
A tradition dating back to 2010’s Vessel, a DTS record is as much a collaboration between Osbourne and Zavala as it is with their underground hip-hop peers. In addition to verses from Aesop Rock and Ceschi, who’ve appeared on the duo’s last two records, LORE welcomes Aes’ album-length collaborators Homeboy Sandman and Rob Sonic, as well as dedicatedly independent jazz-rapper R.A.P. Ferreira. Each of these guests conform seamlessly to Zavala’s relentless, driving instrumentations, sucking the listener in like the most trance-inducing psych-rock group.
