Continuing the tradition of getting the neo new age/ambient artists to work with older artists, FRKWYS 8 features Blues Control collaborating with Laraaji.
“And like other similarly inclined noisemakers (including but not limited to Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never, White Rainbow, and Hatchback), when New York’s Blues Control began to explore psychedelic music from the chakra-relaxing end of the musical spectrum, it led them directly to Laraaji’s back catalog. Similarly inclined to melodic improvisation, percussive playing, hazy instrument treatments, and sprawling soundscapes– as evidenced on previous albums like Local Flavor and"Puff”– it makes a strange sort of sense that Blues Control would reach out to Laraaji for a collaborative album released as part of the RVNG label’s ongoing FRKWYS series.“ Pitchfork
