Sudden Death (A Field Guide) by Blend is out and in stores!

sudden death

Sudden Death: A term often used to state an unexpected end of an organism or a game, made quickly and without warning, it is also used to symbolize new beginnings therefore novel experiences.

Blend (also known as Mishkin), ends up locking himself in the studio for three months with his mpc sampler, a big stack of records, loads of spoken words on vinyl (in fact this album is a paradise for the spoken word nerd), a turntable, a microphone…and in come the mc’s:  Bnc (jeff Gonzalez),  Elephant Phinix followed by The Kidd and Taki Tsan to add a personal spirit to his music!

Other collaborations in the album include vocalist & keyboardist Serotone of Duke Abduction, guitarist Kill Emil of Cinecod, human beatbox Bitman, mythical punk rocker Stink, producer Strider and keyboardist Yiannis Dimitriadis of the Happy dog project.

The beats are created by chopping a vast collection of sounds and music from vinyls and other external sources such as a casio 20 euro keybord, sirens, generators and music toys. Much detail is put by cutting, scratching and mixing bits of live shows, spoken words, comedy, horror and cartoons.

The result is surely mindblowing with a  flowing tracklist which sequels as if to tell a story. Sudden Death is an album with the philoshopy of a mixtape, which was Blends  idea in the first place, but manages to leave a complete musical stigma which is sure to hook it’s listeners up.

Πιθανότατα θα αποδειχθεί το καλύτερο αυθεντικό hip hop αλμπουμ
που κυκλοφόρησε ποτέ στην Ελλάδα.

Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s, Straight no Chaser)

Ο Blend σαν δεινός τζογαδόρος, ρισκάρει και σπρώχνει τον ήχο του στα άκρα. Γι’ αυτό και εδώ λείπουν οι μελωδίες που ρέουν και ο αδιάκοπος ρυθμός. Υπάρχει μόνο ένα κουβάρι από άγριες κραυγές και μελωδικούς ψίθυρους, σειρήνες περιπολικών και ξεχαρβαλωμένες κιθάρες, γέλια κονσέρβα και συγκρούσεις αυτοκινήτων.
Δημητρης Αναστασοπυλος (Ελευθεροτυπια)

Πράγματι «ξαφνικός» ο θάνατος! Της προχειρότητας, της στενομυαλιάς, του τυχάρπαστου και της βλαχιάς εσωτερικής κατανάλωσης. Ο Blend έκανε μεγαλόπρεπη κηδεία σε όλα τα παραπάνω, δημιουργώντας αυτό που θα έπρεπε να χαρακτηρίζεται ως ανοιχτόμυαλο hip-hop άλμπουμ. Δε πιστεύω να απασχολεί κανέναν το πρόθεμα ελληνικό…
Θάνος Σιόντορος, MiC.gr
