Warp Records has scheduled Hudson Mohawke’s debut album, Butter, for release on October 13 (October 12 in the UK). Dam-Funk makes an appearance, as do Nadsroic (from HudMo’s LuckyMe camp) and Olivier Daysoul. You can download a teaser MP3, “Rising 5,” from the Warp website.
Here’s a short explanation of Butter:
“The Butter idea, as well as just wanting to give the album a simple striking name, also came from my attempt at a sort of prog rock meets vintage soul meets sleazy R’n’B aesthetic – Isaac Hayes ‘hot buttered soul’. I really wanted the title to somehow emphasise the arrangements on the record, how I’ve tried to create songs as opposed to just computer driven arrangements, how the record flows. I think compared to some of my earlier production it’s smoother in some ways as well, like butter for the eardrums.â€
