Shaggy Black

A certain amount of sublime unease fills Shaggy Black, the debut from the ad hoc duo of Miami's Dino Felipe and Brooklyn's Nick Forté, captured under the moniker Felipe & Forté. Strange sounds, with sources unknown, permeate throughout the disc. It's deeply processed and yet presents an undeniably organic presence, a unique anomaly of both resplendent and savage textures. The union of man-made and machine-based sounds creates a truly fucked, purely psychedelic atmosphere of sonic scrawl and blistering fuzz. It's equal parts Oval, Boredoms, Alvin Lucier and Excepter.
