Where Did The Night Fall
| Dec | 15 |
Walking down empty streets usually signifies the end of a night for someone, the wind hitting his face, footsteps creepily getting louder and storefronts dimmed. Drunks, gluttons and heathens are all around, as things keep winding down as time passes. The only soundtrack to fuel the night’s depth of darkness is the sounds of King Midas Sound, the dub-child of Kevin Martin (aka The Bug), Roger Robinson and Hitomi. The trio’s tracks inhabit cinematic landscapes, which are unearthed by rhymes, alternately power and soft. Their Hyperdub full-length, Waiting For You, was just released with notable reception, and it comes as no surprise, considering the gears that made the wheels turn. We took time out with one of those gears, Kevin Martin, to speak about the process of songwriting, views on “reviving trip-hop” and much more.
URB: What brought you guys …
Kanye’s already blogged this, so maybe it’s passé, but dang if this new Sade joint isn’t the best R&B slowjam we’ve heard in aaaaaages. The UK queen has always been able to crack charts while creating some of the most unique music around. This new song shows she hasn’t missed a step in the nine years since her last album. Can’t wait for the full-length dropping Feb 8. It’s gonna be sexy time all over the world that night. Sade.com
