Album Notes & Community Reviews

Jerrilynn Patton pushes the Chicago footwork genre to its absolute breaking point, stripping away traditional hip-hop vocal samples entirely. The album is an overwhelmingly complex, polyrhythmic masterclass built exclusively around manipulated percussion and tribal drumming. It garnered universal acclaim from electronic music critics and features high-profile collaborations with William Basinski and Holly Herndon.
