L.A. producer Samurai Guru’s sophomore project “Glitch” delivers an indie blend of psychedelic “Trip Hop” and backpacker boom-bap.
The beat tape consists mostly of minimal snares and chill vocals, occasionally punctuated by record scratches.
Opening with what sounds like relaxing elevator music, the EP progresses through a series of tracks that never stray from its stoned stargazer vibe.
Guru’s debut tape at Cult Classic Records incorporates a variety of instrumentals and cathartic voice-overs to weave a subtly layered sound reminiscent of pastoral scenes and headphone-slinging hipsters.
