Portland beatsmith MONTGOMERY WORD has released his second album and fourth tape on his self-run tape label, Ewe of Now Recordings. Filled with cloudy 404 hooks and rainy drum-beat twists and turns, not even this winter-months release can escape the gray, cloudy haze of the Pacific Northwest in January. Working through the loops slower and with more subtle chops, NITE LYF feels like a product of late-night mixing sessions in the basement rather than the plugged-in, Adderall-infused beat music of 2012.
Listen to “throbert” from NITE LYF below, and buy the whole album from Ewe of Now, uh… now!
