“Is it worth it? Is this cassette worth risking everything?”
“I’ll tell you when I find out what’s on it.”
Comprising four sides across two tapes totaling C66 and twenty-eight tracks, the double release SEMI LIKE & DONKY SHRBRT by MONTGOMERY WORD is a monstrous achievement of lip-licking SP404 cuts, spliced with some of the stranger vocal samples I’ve heard in the genre in some time. It’s real traditional mixtape material turned on its head, while still paying homage to the miles of magnetic tape that paved the way for this smooth ride through years of R&B and glitchy hardware. Semi-like a record player skipping intentionally because daaamn, it just can’t get enough. MONTGOMERY WORD ya’ll.
Listen to the opening track from DONKY SHRBRT below, and “find out what’s on it.”
SEMI LIKE and DONKY SHRBRT are out now via WORD’s label, Ewe of Now Recordings.
