about

Recorded with a variety of digital samplers, Chapman’s creative output plays like an even more chaotic take on the free-jazzy Hip Hop pioneered by Madlib and J. Dilla, chopping siren-like saxophone squalls atop wonky drum-machine patterns. Tracks like “83.7” and “Take the Time” reveal Chapman’s affinity for retro sounds, layering Jazz loops beneath a veil of tape hiss. The result would feel right at home in the soundtrack to a ’70s sitcom theme: warm, groovy and just a little bit grimy. On the other end of the spectrum, cuts like “Before the Day” and “My Song 12” signify forward-thinking, avant-garde sensibilities. The former cakes its muted instrumentation in distortion, providing a nebulous canvas onto which guest vocalist Marcus Tenney paints his frenetic spoken word bars, while the latter heaves with Industrial rhythms, groaning like a broken Nintendo cartridge.

Whether your tastes lean toward Jazz, Hip Hop or even Garage Rock, Pressure Fit aims its musical curveballs just shy of your wheelhouse, challenging you to swing outside your comfort zone. Chapman’s genre-defying compositions may revel in experimentation, but most importantly, they’re crafted with fun in mind. (Jude Noel - CityBeat.com)
