Album: Alexander Spit - A Breathtaking Trip To The Other Side Feb 2nd 2013, 03:43 Quote: What immediately separates Spit's first official release from the legions of self-styled outsider auteurs rapping to themselves on Bandcamp is his touch as a producer. A Breathtaking Trip is a sullen, antisocial record, but Spit makes being a loner feel like a positively sensual experience. His bleak, smeary sound draws from the murkier corners of the L.A. beat scene-- it's easy to imagine him rapping over a track by, say, Nosaj Thing-- and the dour gloom of London bass. If there is any connection to Bay Area rap sounds, they poke through submerged: The clicks and pops of "Death by 27" sound more at home next to Autechre than E-40, but miles above the track's bottom end, a ghost of a G-funk synth floats. "Coastal/Hyperion" bumps like vintage DJ Quik until the synths start glowing like alien spores.
