MH-227 Neotropic - White Rabbits  After a string of successful releases for Ninja Tune's Ntone imprint, Neotropic makes her Mush debut with her finest work to date: White Rabbits. Utilizing collaborative live performances from a number of talented guest musicians on a bed of sparse programming, Neotropic has crafted a release that is a continuation of her migration toward warm, minimal, acoustically grounded compositions. Her blend of environmental audio and rhythms document many moods and transitions. Piano lines and strings drift above fragile drum loops, an unassuming guitar strum slowly develops into a moving body of instruments, and sporadic vocals muse on the difficulty of finding and maintaining love. |

| Although Riz Maslen (aka Neotropic) has what can be considered a modest discography, the young composer has successfully carved an audible niche for herself within the dense musical foliage of hybrized electronica. Combining ambient, dub, and electronica with a handful of stylized break forms, Mazlen has perhaps her most accomplished work in the forthcoming LP White Rabbits recorded for experimental US hip-hop label Mush. On the new record Maslen is credited for writing, producing and playing a number of instruments on each track, and her vision of downtempo as translated through a classical framework has never worked so well. - Scissorkick |
