Here's some more info on this great new Mura Masa Vinyl LP:<p>
Alex Crossan’s debut album is a love letter to
multicultural London that’s informed by the 21-year-old musician’s
insular upbringing and abetted by a number of high-profile guests.On his
self-produced debut, Crossan works the city’s spidery Tube maps into an
exhilarating electronic framework where the conflicting sounds of the
modern-day Tower of Babel can harmoniously coexist. His interest in the
city’s cartography is literal: “Messy Love” opens the album with the
sounds of a city bus and deposits us at the stop for New Park Road, near
Brixton. From there, Crossan traverses the various ends of his adopted
home while also cruising through the genres that have filled its
inhabitants’ headphones for the past few years, from big-beat hip-hop
(“Nuggets”) to airhorn-assisted calypso (“Love$ick”) and harp-infused UK
garage (“What If I Go?”). Some of his musical tourism is more
tongue-in-cheek: He ventures as far as the South Pacific on “1 Night,”
which adds a steel-drum melody to a sample from “Tahiti,” a kitschy
piece of 1960s exotica by the Italian soundtrack composer Piero
Piccioni, and sends Charli XCX bouncing about like a drunken reveler in a
tiki bar.
With so many high-profile guests along for the
ride—including A$AP Rocky, Desiigner, Christine and the Queens, and
Damon Albarn—there’s a risk that the album could become a top-heavy
exercise in A&R. But Crossan never leans too hard on his hired
talent as he pieces together house and hip-hop beats with sounds like
marimba, steel pans, and kalimba.
Born an outlier himself, he spent most of his youth making music in a
remote bedroom on the very white, insular island of Guernsey
(population: 60,000), where the main local industries were finance and
tourism and his nearest venue was five hours away by boat. The internet
was his way out: He built his reputation on SoundCloud, and low-profile
releases like 2014’s Soundtrack to a Death collection and 2015’s Someday
Somewhere EP led to a production credit on Stormzy’s Gang Signs &
Prayer. Like Disclosure’s Lawrence brothers, who began making music
before they even reached clubbing age, Crossan is proof that going to
raves isn’t a prerequisite for aspiring to start one. Being cut off only
piqued his curiosity for all things electronic.
