SBTRKT’s video for “BODMIN MOOR” is an exploration of the music industry. Harrowing stuff indeed as it signals SBTRKT’s return. I also dig the fact that SBTRKT doesn’t need any vowels, if I tried that attempt at a name, I’d find myself somewhere in the realm of female anatomy with CLTRFND. Whatever, right?
Equal parts rapturous and humid, “Bodmin Moor” is a welcome reentry from the pioneering producer, and comes accompanied by an eerie visual accompaniment directed by THE REST (Slowthai, Skepta, A$AP Rocky). There is much to be inferred from this first look into the new world of SBTRKT, so keep your eyes peeled as the concept begins to take shape and the fragments start to align.
SBTRKT emerged onto the scene in the early 2010’s, going onto release two critically lauded albums. A prolific collaborator, he has worked with the likes of Ezra Koenig, ASAP Ferg, Little Dragon, Sampha, Drake, The Dream. His sound defines a generation, artfully combining elements from a multitude of genres to create undeniably groundbreaking tracks that exist on the fringes of popular music. This is merely the beginnings of a daring new chapter for SBTRKT.
