“Butter” has been among one of the most anticipated releases of 2009 so far. On “Butter,” Hudson Mohawke takes us on a trip through spacey electronic soul and the likes of fusion jazz and prog rock all based around the future beats wonky movement. The album is comprised of 18 tracks, each unique from one another and collaborations with notables such as Stones Throw’s Dam-Funk or previous collaborator Oliver DaySoul. Known tracks like 8-bit beat boxed “ZOo00OOm” or “Star Crackout” are among the standouts on the album mixed between the funked-up-on-steroids instrumentals and vocal tracks. The Stevie Wonder-like “Rising 5” is a testament to Hudson’s unique crystal clear production style. The drums on “Rising 5” are so damn crisp and clear. “FUSE,” a standout track, reminds me of a mix between UK jazz rock group Nucleus and fusion jazz artist George Duke with its beat-driven, soulful synthesized melody. Highly recommended.
