GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Mexico-based duo Apocrifo serve up their debut single 'Indicut' with LA hip-hop and soul virtuoso Georgia Ann Muldrow on the vocal. This outfit is made up of producer Kefren Rivera and percussionist Carlos Huitro and they plenty of jazz, hip hop and electroacoustic elements into a unique sound that is exemplified here. The track is a broody, lo-fi world of sound with hip-hop beats and the yearning jazz vocals of Muldrow adding to the effect next to sombre piano chords. The instrumental strips everything back to the killer beats. This is a great first offering from this outfit who surely have plenty more to come.

Review: Mother Tongue sure knows how to serve up some beautifully escapist and Balearic sounds and that's exactly what we have here with this seductive new 12" from Tiombe Lockhart feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow. This welcome return to the label from Lockhart comes as a teaser ahead of her new album Going Forth By Day. On this evidence, it's going to be a real doozy because 'An Osirian Dream' is utterly angelic. The vocals soar to the heavens next to celestial melodies over a gentle rhythm. Also included a beatless version and a couple of T's takes which get more jazzy.

Review: LA singer-songwriter and producer Georgia Muldrow teams up with prolific beatmaker Madlib for a deeply exciting and experimental soul affair, 'Seeds'. The admixture of Muldrow's singing - which often switches from left, right and phased panning, and is almost never tainted by overt FX beyond that - and Madlib's chopped-up, ultra-loose production produces a sort of cacophony. It reminds us of a contemporary hip-hop version of Sun Ra Arkestra's faux-haphazard sound. Our favourite is 'The Few', on which Muldrow's close 'husfriend' Declaime offers additional production - navigating close relationships is central to the album, but Muldrow brings the chaos all together with careful consideration, vocal delivery and pensive lyrics.
