Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (CD)
Following the release of new album Stardust, a glitch-driven, genre-warping futuristic dispatch from the fringes of hip-hop culture, Danny Brown celebrates a decade since the release of his much-loved 2016 album Atrocity Exhibition with anniversary special editions and a quartet of live shows in which he will perform the album front-to-back for the first time.
Atrocity Exhibition was the first Danny Brown album on Warp Records, an inspired coming together of artist and label. The record was greeted as a high watermark in experimental rap, a sonic swirl inspired by the work of Talking Heads and Joy Division that nonetheless sounded like nothing else from the past or present. Along with contributions from producers like Evian Christ, Petite Noir, Black Milk and the Alchemist, the bulk of production is handled by long-time collaborator Paul White, absolutely in the pocket with the rapid-fire rhymes of Brown on Atrocity Exhibition. The pair fashion laser-beam guitars, gym-teacher whistles, creaking vocal samples, and air-raid drones into the most intriguing take on hallucinatory rap since the heady heights of Cold Vein or Madvillainy.
