Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam

'Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam' showcases Ghostpoet's loveable ramshackle but hook-laden productions, his lazy baritone and imaginative desolate take on the world - a most impressive statement of intent.

Opener "One Twos" is a distorted and warped microphone check that slithers hypnotically into "Run Run Run" which twists and turns, drawing you into the dark and brooding atmosphere that 'Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam' is drenched in. The D.I.Y. nuances of tracks like "Us Against Whatever Ever" aid in the intimacy one feels with Ghostpoet, as we embark on a voyage into his mind. Minimal beats sinuously glide through "Longing for the Night", right into more intimate affairs like "Survive It".

'Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam' is one of the freshest sounding debuts since Tricky's 'Maxinquaye' - it's as beautifully complex as it is subtle and will command your attention again and again.
