top records of 2011: 7. Clams Casino - Instrumentals
7. CLAMS CASINO - INSTRUMENTALS
Absolutely makes me wanna smelter. This instrumental hip-hop album is where it's at. It's innovative, doesn't only draw from hip-hop, is diverse, makes me nod my head like no other album this year, demonstrates great potential, kicks an otherwise stagnant genre right up the you-know-what, delights at every corner and is a real late-charger for me this year, zooming up my list right towards the end.
The hazy aesthetic on most of this recalls Burial and the lazer-beam production of "Brainwash By London" recalls the production of Switch. Bjork is sampled on "Illest Alive" and there's plenty more surprises on this killer banger stunner of an LP from this New Jersey producer. Unquestionably, where it's at.
