FEET OF CLAY
Fifteen minutes of muddy, off-kilter loops and dense, stream-of-consciousness poetry. A claustrophobic, uncompromising dive into abstract hip-hop.
Fifteen minutes of muddy, off-kilter loops and dense, stream-of-consciousness poetry. A claustrophobic, uncompromising dive into abstract hip-hop.
It's fifteen minutes of beautiful, muddy, and completely unhinged abstract rap loops.
An anxious, insular, and claustrophobic journey through warped loops and heavy thoughts.
The production is pushed a touch harder into lo fi than this artist usually allows.
“Eschews Olympian-style rhyme schemes and bursts of clear-eyed soul-searching, instead offering a tender portrayal of Earl’s psyche”Read review
“FEET OF CLAY plays as self-contained little musings that seem to flutter in and out as a radio channel changes”Read review
“Throughout Feet Of Clay, Earl’s playfulness collides with the weariness of a much older man; his layered rapping style and increasing disinterest in form suffuse his cryptic meditations on memory and loss with the sense of great burden”Read review
“A woozy, raw, magical, and extremely short album from hip-hop’s most tantalizingly inscrutable rapper”Read review
“There’s the sense that the artist is using this record as a transitionary vehicle, a space where he can blend familiar themes with unfamiliar sounds, adopt different lyrical approaches and mix them with different styles of production and instrumentation”Read review
“Unassuming flow mixed alongside labyrinthine samples and buried-alive drums”Read review
“Death and darkness loom over ’FEET OF CLAY’. Murky loops and a stream-of-consciousness style of rapping make the project feel like an extension of the sound honed on ’Some Rap Songs’, albeit a less streamlined version of it”Read review
