Known for his slow build ups, crisp transitions, and cinematic beats, Blockhead is truly one of independent hip hop's most overlooked producers. From his scattered work with Aesop Rock (Appleseed (1999)- None Shall Pass (2007)) to his two highly touted solo instrumental records, Music by Cavelight and Downtown Science, Blockhead has consistently dropped original hip hop compositions since his unveiling alongside Definitive Jux's outlandish orator.
Last week, like his three instrumental solo albums before, Blockhead released his new production record via Ninja Tune Records entitled, The Music Scene. Unlike Uncle Tony's Coloring Book, his solo album released in 2007, The Music Scene goes back to the Blockhead we all know and love-- methodical, brooding beats anchored with surprising transitions that will bring smiles to avid music fans faces.
Below are two tracks from the new album, which is available via digital download now and will be released in physical CD & vinyl form early in 2010.
