Hudson Mohawke - “No One Could Ever”
Hudson Mohawke’s (aka 22-year-old Ross Birchard’s) music glides over notes and rhythms endlessly (Is it any wonder that his debut LP is titled Butter?). It’s difficult to detect where one note begins or where the beat will transition from second to second. He never gives the listener a break and this is a good thing.
On the surface, songs like the rapturous singles “Rising 5” or the short but sweet “No One Could Ever” sound likedensely layered electronic hip-hop tracks. Upon further listening however, it easy to discern that Mohawke is challenging you. One can’t help but think: What exactly is going on here? How did he produce this? Where will it all lead? Listening to one of his songs is different each time as each listen provides something quirkier or stranger or more fascinating to the ear. Mohawke obviously wants this, wants the listener to be engaged with the music beyond a passing interest in an intangible mp3.
