Father Creeper
SUB POP
summery highlife melodies, snaking, rippling guitar lines & electro/ acoustic beats meet in this collision of hip-hop, techno & post-punk sensibilities.
‘father creeper’ sees the deep & acerbic johannesburg rapper flow over the eclectic sounds & choppy beats of his unique township tech. with huge, cinematic production & song structures that swerve between styles & sonic textures at breakneck speed, it is tied together by the smart, dirty vocals of wordsmith nthato mokgata. recommended. “sparkling guitar lines that wouldn't have sounded out of place on paul simon's ‘graceland’ shift into an indie riff, while stuttering beats bring to mind chicago footworking” 4/5 – guardian.
