James Prudhomme AKA Suicideyear is a bit of an anomaly – equally splitting his time between all night, smoked out studio sessions with the likes of recent collaborators Little Pain, Lil Ugly Mane and Yung Lean as he is playing at Berlin’s peerless Berghain Club and recording for Oneohtrix Point Never’s Software label. The music on “Color The Weather” reflects this – the 808 weight of his local rap influences with the delicate and intimate flourishes of ambience and beauty – both vocal and textural make “Color the Weather” a development from his previous beat based material whilst still containing all the hallmarks that have been present on his earlier work. It’s a cliche to suggest but the album is best enjoyed as one continuous piece.
Featuring collaborations with Georgia (Domino Recordings) and upcoming Canadian talent Casey MQ.
