Prefuse Rolls With Wu-Tang On New Album
Prefuse 73 mastermind Scott Herren is surrounded by a cavalcade of
notable names on his new album, "Surrounded by Silence," due March 22
via Warp.
Among the guests are El-P and the Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah on
first single "HideYaFace" (due commercially in late February), fellow
Wu-Tang members GZA and Masta Killa, Aesop Rock, Tyondai Braxton, Cafe
Tacuba, Beans, Broadcast, the Books, DJ Nobody and Blonde Redhead
guitarist Kazu Makino.
"This album is a collection of collaborations between those I respect
musically and those who I share personal friendships with," Herren says.
"The master plan was to not use any collaboration that had been a
commodity to sell a record."
Herren describes the collection as "the radio station of my mind - as
far as I'm concerned, my first love for music was hip-hop and as I grew,
so much other music came into my life naturally that I wanted to
interchange things that I could foresee working."
Herren says "Surrounded by Silence" blends "almost as many instrumentals
as collaborations." So many ideas were in the mix that "there is about
an hour's worth left off just to get this to its point of release,"
including collaborations with Madlib, Four Tet, Diplo, and TV On The
Radio vocalist Tunde Adebimpe.
"This exchange of ideas doesn't need to blow up the airwaves and sell a
million copies," Herren says. "If it gets to enough people to make them
happy during the moments it enters their ears, then my mission has been
accomplished."
The Barcelona-based artist is expected to tour later this year in
support of the new album.
- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
