Grany's Thought vinyl

Listening to The Raw Interpreter's third and latest missive, the Grany's Thought EP on Warm Sounds, you can easily imagine a hooded figure working the machines and literally punching the samples into the title track. Sampled keys twinkle and frolic above a beat down kick and two-timed claps, while basic percussion is effectively employed to create that perfect loop. Pow pow hip hop beats paired with a clatter snare introduce "The Way You Love Me", as a mumbling vocal backed by a filtered choral loop enters, later topped with plucked strings looped to infinity. "Late Nights" is a complete analogue jam devoid of samples until, like the rest of the EP, a loop of keys and cut up vocal snippets enter, thus creating another rough and ready groove. The final track "Dusty Blues" could well be a borrowed version of Dusty Springfield's "Learn To Say Goodbye", only given a thorough and blitzed out Warm Sounds raw interpretation.
