In a few months time, foodman has tackled performance art that teaches children to draw, has caused neon pulses to emit from your vehicle — heck, there’s even been a riveting mythological history written about the guy. Now, he’s released his SICK oiss EP, his second release on Paisley Park’s Бｈ○§† imprint. This guy’s on FIRE.
But for real, leave it to foodman to give us some beat-shit that is simultaneously FUNCTIONAL and ABSTRACT. I’m sitting here trying to figure out the ratio: is it 50% functional, 50% abstract? NO man, that track “yoro piku piku” is straight-up club-functional in the way it goes hard! But wait, shit, that track “house” is total “post-beat swag,” I mean it’s like __[insert reference here]__-level abstract. Okay, I’ll conclude the oiss EP is 100% FUNCTIONAL / 100% ABSTRACT, evening out to 200% REAL.
I guess that’s the virtue of Shokuhin Maturi a.k.a. foodman, there’s a little something for everyone here: the kids, the freaks, futuristic NASCAR drivers, comic book nerds, etc. Beat-heads are gonna love the addicting, classically jittery rhythms that introduce themselves loud-and-proud, “HEY <3 NICE TO MEET YU.” But seriously, just take in that jokey trumpet bouncing around in the aforementioned track “house,” and it’s clear that foodman’s mastering AND challenging all kinds of genres with each release.
The man’s on a roll, I mean, an especially tasty roll , seeing how he’s the “foodman” and all. KEEP IT COMING!
