Preservation & Gabe 'Nandez - Sortilège Preservation & Gabe 'Nandez
Esoteric, yet blunt and uncomplicated as a fistfight, Sortilège erases the line between urbane and urban.
It’s a movie in a lucid dream, A Clockwork Négritude projected against the wall of a construction site. Mixed-use residential. Tracing this arc, fellow travelers, Armand Hammer, Koncept Jack$on, Ze Nkoma Mpaga Ni Ngoko, and billy woods all make appearances. Oh, and there are drums everywhere: drums that will rattle a hooptie and drums that whisper threats.
Somehow, over the course of 14 tracks, Preservation seems to find his way to every instrument imaginable—yet each beat has room to breathe. Amidst this breakbeat symphony, ‘Nandez’s unmistakable baritone glides purposefully, ever forward, a bristling warship in troubled waters. Every time the bass thumps, ‘Nandez counterpunches. This is a record for heavyweight speakers and clunky headphones.
