SAMIZDAT Vinilo y CD

Review: The murky mystery around Michael J. Blood continues to confound us with the arrival of Samizdat. The past few years have seen tapes and 12"s of scuffed, broken neo soul and lo-fi kitchen sink beats scattering around Michael J. Blood, rolling in the same orbit as Tom 'Rat Heart' Boogizm and Shotta Tapes. Samizdat arrives on the Blood label with further trips into hidden depths, weaving cracked beauty and heavy hearts around sketchbook songs with questionable structural integrity. This is exactly why it's so captivating, sounding blunted and insular but full of feeling and maddeningly dope.
