about

Atlantic Rhythms presents the re-issue of Blacks' Myths self-titled 2018 debut, now available on a limited edition vinyl LP. Blacks’ Myths, is the inimitable rhythm section featuring bassist Luke Stewart and drummer Warren “Trae” Crudup III. The duo's first outing is a pulsing, hypnotic masterwork.

From The Wire:
"On the meditative and majestic 'Upper South' a repetitive 17 note bassline sails through choppy waves of subtle polyrhythms at a steady clip. Its companion 'Lower South' is marked by a melancholic, weighty meandering. The range of tones that Stewart gets from his bass is intriguing. Here, he plays with harmonics whose haloes vibrate outward through a short delay. Stacking these patterns over a long loop gives rise to sonic structures that grow like crystals within the interference patterns. 'Black Flight' is a sentient fog in a realm of visceral stillness, with pacing so restrained that when the drums finally enter, they arrive like a staircase rolling down from the heavens."

From Downbeat:
"On Blacks’ Myths, Stewart and Crudup craft evocative, Afro-futuristic grooves, frequently disrupted by eruptions of feedback dissonance or languid soundscapes."
