LTTL – Watercolor Vinyl LP

Description

Watercolor is LTTLs fantastic debut album, released by Los Angeless iconic Cold Busted label. The western NY-state beat-maker was trained as a live drummer, but, thanks to a sonic encounter with the sound of MF Doom, emerged as an instrumental hip-hop enthusiast. LTTLs musical palette is composed of phat and precise rhythms mixed with what he calls psychedelic elevator music. Watercolors 17 tracks display his technique, resulting in tight, laid-back vibes that groove for days.LTTLs obsession with colors and the natural world is revealed in the hue-named song titles. Vermillion Blue opens Watercolor, ringing electric piano and crisp, classy drums leading into a strange sax-like melody. Lemon Yellow is next, sounding like the on-hold music for the chillest of skate shops. Other highlights include the dramatic pulse of Sky Blue, the bird songs, jazzy guitar, and boom-bap beat of Ultramarine, and the strange melodic pads and growling bass of Sap Green. With Watercolor, LTTL has carved out his path among a world of downtempo beat producers. The future is bright as he continues to paint his masterpieces with sound.
