1 time mirage

"The production work that creative team Ishmael Butler and Erik Blood did with experimental hip-hop group Shabazz Palaces could never be called tame. Feeding off each other's production styles, the duo pushed the group's sound to some very weird places, but it seems almost mild when compared to the depths of weirdness they get into on 1 Time Mirage, the debut album from their Knife Knights project ... At its best, Knife Knights' boundless experimentation reads like a dizzying mix of J Dilla drum patterns, Animal Collective guitar lines, and Flying Lotus-level production freakouts underscoring R&B songs from another planet. Sometimes the sounds feel a little too alien to decode, but when production spirals out of control for a moment, part of the appeal of 1 Time Mirage is listening to the production team reign their wild creations back in".
