The long-awaited debut LP from Glaswegian Hudson Mohawke is perhaps not the landmark wonky record many anticipated. Although bursting with energy and invention, Hudmo’s stuttering blend of hip-hop, dub and electro synth fails to consistently mould the barmy into the beautiful.

Tracks such as ‘Just Decided’ and ‘Trykk’ promise thick and experimental beats only to sound like Mario Kart in a blender; and an injection of soul on ‘Joy Fantastic’ is likewise spoilt by irritating samples.

Yet when Hudmo manages to harness experimentation with structure, the results are ludicrously good, particularly in the case of ‘FUSE’ which merges a funky beat with joyous keys and luscious synths.

A promising record then, but future albums should follow the more cohesive Polyfolk Dance EP which was released earlier this year.
