Sisters
Album · Electronic · 2016 · Leaving Records
Odd Nosdam’s Sisters is richly layered ear candy built from record store arcana. A needle skipping over scratchy vinyl wafts through much of the set, whether the work is percussive like “Bow They Will!!!”—rap break pounding beneath clanging hi-hats and plunking piano—or ambient like the title track, an aria of droning organ and sampled choir. Toying with New Age haze and post-rock drama, the Bay Area producer assembles dreamlike hip-hop and electronic experiments that sound slightly out of focus, unfurling like a happy accident from the turntable spun too slow.
