Needless to say it's another Odd Futurite who's gone on to pick up every last plaudit these past few weeks as though they were but dropped conkers come autumn, although in teaming up with Steven Ellison, or Mr.
Brainfeeder, or
Flying Lotus the potty-mouthed, baritonally voiced
Earl Sweatshirt has put himself on the intricate mappings of the internet too. The sixth and latest release in
Adult Swim's 2012 Singles Program (which already includes contributions from
The Field and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, amongst others) is entitled Between Friends, and represents a skittish flitter between variegated genres, styles and substances. Reminiscent both of
The Mouse & The Mask and
Ellison's recent sets at Barça's Sónar, we're treated to fluid soul, downtempo Dirty Projectors-via-Hebden's SP-303s and jazzed down hip hop over three freshly pressed juice-fresh minutes.
