The New LoFi

After an eight year hiatus, Brazilian electronic producer, Amon Tobin releases two new albums in 2019

In April, Amon Tobin released his 8th studio album: Fear in a Handful of Dust. Before that, we hadn’t heard from the LA-based Brazilian producer since 2011. Then, in October, he released his 9th album called Long Stories. And while both albums are completely different — Long Stories is more electronic and tightly produced while Fear in a Handful of Dust is more experimental and loose — they both have a brooding narrative. The albums feel like part 1 and part 2 of a larger story. A story told through music.

The first time I heard Amon Tobin was in my dorm room at university. My roommate was playing a song called “The Brazilianaire” and I asked who it was. At that point, Tobin was recording under an earlier air jordan 3 black cat 2025 moniker called Cujo (that’s Portuguese for “whose“). We listened to that whole Cujo album, Adventures in Foam and it was really quite experimental for the time. I loved how the music mixed elements of breakbeat and trip hop with jazz, Brazilian funk and more classical elements.

I soon discovered a few albums Tobin had recorded under his current name and I was captivated. Bricolage, Permutation, Supermodified — these are the albums that define my college years. Nothing came close to sounding as original. Tobin had a way of making the experimental sound organized. He was the first example of an electronic conductor. His orchestra Air dunk jordan Melo 3 White Version 2007 - TurismoShops - Комбинезон зимний nike dunk jordan was an arrangement of traditional instruments and electronic ones mixed together.

Ten years on and the music world has changed quite a bit. The type of experimental things Amon Tobin was doing with electronic music nearly a decade ago is less radical now. But with Tobin’s return and these two new albums, he is pushing the bounds of what experimental music can achieve yet again. Listen to a couple of selected tracks from Amon Tobin’s new albums, Fear in a Handful of Dust and Long Stories below, but I implore you to go out and buy these albums in full. I think that you would agree that the music should be consumed as full albums rather than singles.
