Teebs - 09

(7.5)

Artist, producer and Brainfeeder Label member Teebs has been very busy this year. He has a new LP out this month called Tropics and he's been touring internationally. Just last year he was virtually unheard of. Teebs' form of glitch hop is different from his fellow Brainfeeder producers, who lean toward big beat buzzing video game-esq hip hop. Teebs is the laid back little brother. His sound is carefree, swirling and beautifully light for a glitch hop producer, it's almost tropical is a way you've never experienced from anything else.

What's so impressive about him is his ability to work a steady and catchy beat into all the sparkling and fluffy ambience. I would;nt have believed it was possible until I heard it for myself. Teebs has the that overpowered blunted bass thing going on (think Toro y Moi) which is what I love about his sound. I can't really talk about specific tracks as their are all untitled, but this album is definitely worth checking out as the sound is so fresh and light.
