Cry sugar

"Hudson Mohawke embraces dystopian trash-pop imagery on his first album in seven years, maintaining his trademark clarity while bleeding and oozing over a larger canvas than ever".

"Hudson Mohawke's third album, like his first two, is an excessive, bombastic set of maximalist compositions veering from disjointed trap mutations to unironic fist-pumpers. This time out, providing motivational music for the end times seems to be his goal. His most elaborately designed work to date, Cry Sugar incorporates grandiose strings, gospel choirs, and soulful wails into its fractured, chest-rattling beatscapes".

"Joining the dots between rave and contemporary hip-hop, the Scottish producer's feverish third solo album hovers on the edge of chaos ... So what to make of Cry Sugar, an album that comes wrapped in a frankly horrible sleeve depicting two thong-sporting bums, one belonging to a topless lady, the other to the Ghostbusters' Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? Perhaps it's best not to worry about it. Just succumb to its unique invention, curious shifts in tone and plethora of weird juxtapositions: something that's easy enough to do".
