Warp Records Can’t Be Stopped

warp Warp Records Cant Be Stopped

With amazing new releases coming from a diverse array of genres and acts such as Grizzly Bear, Flying Lotus, Autechre, & more, Warp Records remains at the forefront of forward-thinking music labels, that’s why we here at Missingtoof love what they do and the music they put out.

Two recent releases come from Leila & Chris Clark (Clark).

Leila, former touring keyboardist for Björk, has had previous releases on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label. ‘Blood, Looms & Blooms’ is her Warp Records album debut, which features many guest vocalists, including former Tricky vocalist Martina Topley-Bird.

Here’s a cut off of ”Blood, Looms & Blooms’ entitled ‘Mettle’; a heavy experimental downtempo track that creeps up on you like a bad trip..

MP3: Leila- Mettle

Clark, since the early 2000’s, has been holding it down for the ‘experimental electronic/IDM’ scene. With his complex beat patterns and beautiful melodies, Clark sits well alongside his Warp labelmates like Plaid, Richard Devine, & Mira Calix.

Here, Clark gets 4 on the floor with this ‘intelligent’ dance music thumper, ‘For Wolves Crew’, off his latest album, ‘Turning Dragon’..

Flying Lotus- Los Angeles

Warp Records knew what they were doing when they signed Flying Lotus. His latest album, ‘Los Angeles’, (like other Warp-released albums as Boards of Canada’s ‘Music Has The Right To Children’ and Squarepusher’s ‘Music Is Rotted One Note’) is absolutely amazing.

Clocking in at almost 45 minutes, it’s a mind-numbing experimental-electronic beat excursion not too far away from the approach of other forward-thinking beatsmiths like Madlib & the late great J-Dilla.

Thick, muddy basslines, fuzzy hissy atmospherics, and a healthy dose of blips, bleeps, and grimey beats easily makes this release a candidate for album of the year by my standards…

Here’s one cut off the album to hold you over. Listen to it, appreciate it, then go out and buy it because I guarantee you it’ll be worth every penny!

Jamie Lidell- Jim

‘Jim’ is Jamie Lidell’s third & latest album effort out on prolific English label Warp Records. Lidell ditches the electronics much of his early work had for a more raw, organic, heart-felt mixture of soul & r&b that shows his growth as a musician and singer. This is a very good crossover album that may even appeal to fans of Amy Winehouse or the like…

The first single off the album, ‘Little Bit Of Feelgood’, is released with official remixes by Mr. Oizo & Senor Coconut. Here is the original album version.
