When I started working on Dark Red about two and a half years ago, I had just moved back to LA and built a small studio in my apartment, mostly with my dad’s old gear from the 80s. I had just lost some people close to me and was dealing with another loved one’s health issues. I was all over the place mentally, and I think it reflects in this record whether I like it or not.The only thing I did know going into it, was that I wanted this one to be loud, and not just loud but really really f***ing loud. I wanted the sound of the thing to be devastating and violent. Recordings that force you to feel something even if that something isn’t good. I’m proud to have made something polarizing, a record that’s strong and undeniable even in its moments of pure anxiety and confusion. It’s tragic and painful at times, but that’s all part of it and I want that to be heard and felt. You don’t have to like it, just listen to it.

Henry Laufer AKA Shlohmo tornou-se conhecido por explorar o lado mais instrumental do hip hop. Com o lançamento deste novo LP, de nome Dark Red, ele promete uma mudança nesse rumo.
Este prevê-se mais pesado em termos de sonoridade que os anteriores.
Talvez possamos encontrar o motivo para isto neste extracto de entrevista a Shlohmo via The 405.
Dark Red tem data de lançamento prevista para o dia 7 de Abril, via a label True Panther.
Ouçam o tema “Buried”, que consta no vindouro LP.
