Asleep On A Sunbeam


Ol’ Burger Beats “Come Sunday”

Ol’ Burger Beats makes instrumental hip-hop that calls back to a mid-to-late ‘90s “turntablism” aesthetic – think DJ Shadow or DJ Premier, or a bit later, J Dilla – but pushes further into the realm of jazz. The majority of songs on the Norwegian producer’s new record Daybreaks sound like mellow keyboard-led jazz knocked slightly off balance or out of phase. Familiar sounds, like smooth sax leads, float in but abruptly cut out like a thought that’s suddenly interrupted by nothing in particular. Most of the elements and vocal fragments seem as though they’re presented as quotes and the music has an overall loose and airy feel, but still, it all sounds rather organic and grounded.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
