oOoOO & Islamiq Grrrls - Faminine Mystique album flac

Islamiq Grrrls & oOoOO – Yr Love (05:19) 13. oOoOO & Islamiq Grrrls – Ordinary Words (03:44). oOoOO ventures back from the mists of Witch House on this trip hop revival programme with Islamiq Grrrls, tapping right into the zeitgeists blue vein of ‘90s nostalgia with a mix of authentic coffee table ennui and up-to-the-moment emo rap tropes. The LP is a collaboration between oOoOO & Islamiq Grrrls

For oOoOO and Islamiq Grrrls, all that complexity and incongruity comes built in. Faminine Mystique, which was written and recorded at home in Berlin, is built from a sprawling array of discrete sounds and styles: whispery shoegaze, trap hi-hats, soaring guitar solos, detuned pianos, wobbly Auto-Tune, and even what appears to be a lo-fi tribute to Chris Isaak’s Wicked Games. The album is the first full-length release in five years from Chris Dexter Greenspan, the New Jersey-raised producer whose early releases on the nascent Tri Angle Records, with their hazy atmospheres and trap-influenced electronic drums, were filed under witch house. Returning from a self-imposed break from the industry, Greenspan found an eerily compatible collaborator in Islamiq Grrrls, a singer and musician who grew up in a strict Bosnian Muslim household in small-town Germany (she gives her name only as Asia).
