Why it's here
Black Dog's melodists stepping out early; warmer than anything on Warp that year
On Mbuki Mvuki, Plaid are still carrying some of the Black Dog's severity while their own warmth and melodic instinct push through underneath. The pleasure is hearing that balance shift from track to track until the duo begin to sound unmistakably like themselves. Early and not fully formed, with the melodic gift already entirely there.
