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.

This is an album to sit back and relax with. It is as harmless as a white rabbit, and combines ambient, dub, electro, folk, and hip-hop into a mellow musical concoction. Some music is programmed, some is live, but all is beautiful. - Impact Press
