Crookram - Through Windows

Rok: 2010

Label: Bankrupt Recordings, Budabeats

Discogs

Crookram po pierwszej EPce "19/76" (pisałem o niej tutaj) wydanej 2 lata wcześniej w Budabeats oraz drugiej "Escape, the EP" wyprodukowanej razem z Sagesse (poprzedni post) rok wcześniej i wydanej w Bankrupt Recordings, powraca z długogrającym albumem.

Tym razem płyta zostaje wydana w obu netlabelach. Usłyszymy na niej kontynuację tego co było wcześniej lecz w nowej odsłonie. Świetne downtempowe bity pomieszane z tajemniczymi samplami z filmów tworzą kolejny niepowtarzalny album.
