RUDENHS (Ned Rush) - MODE II

[T3551ER]

So, ah, just got a taste of this album this AM and it's pretty fucking fire. Lots of variety here, from the first track with flamenco-ish guitar to tracks like the above that are more of a traditional []< inspired jam (WATMMer's will probably particularly like "Reactivist," which wouldn't sound out of place on Squarepusher's last full length), as well as some straight up what I might call "rock songs," but with a decidedly lovely mangled twist. 

 

Always been a fan of Ned's tutorials and known that he has an expert command of his tools. What's surprising (but shouldn't be) is the excellence on multiple instruments (drums, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, etc.), as well as compositional talent. A deep album by someone who has honed his craft over years, it's both musically rich and immediately enjoyable.
