Since releasing his awesome Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives at the beginning of 2001, Scott Herren has headlined Japan’s Fuji festival, recorded a new folk album under his Savath + Savalas alias and remixed everyone from Beans to Martina Topley-Bird. The thing he’s most proud of, however, is this gorgeous collection of outtakes from his recent One Word Extinguisher album. Familiar beats are surrounded by new layers of drums, piano, Rhodes and percussion while other tracks are stripped down to just a reverberating bass line and witty vocal snippet. Probably one of the richest down-tempo albums since Shadow’s Endtroducing.
