Grapple at Electric Swamp

Opening with a sequence that sounds like Martin Denny’s delicate numbers suddenly being swamped by Madlib’s blitzkrieg beats, a exotic idyll turned into mutant wasteland, Pelican Island seem in the habit of turning scraps into moveable feasts with this “Three Part Collage”. Never sure quite how seriously to take him but the Barbados native, having grown up cutting samples on cassettes on his sister’s karaoke machine, is now stationed out in E3. Plans are to release a beat tape in the next month or so, piecing together in the same hurdy-gurdy glories as The Samps, but until then it’s just another average day of “wake halfway. cereal. beats. take out. beats. beats. sleep. beats. wake halfway. dream.”
