The full length Piano Overlord project from Scott Herren aka Prefuse, and we did it up deluxe for you with a vinyl run pressed on 150g LPs and housed in a heavy matte gatefold sleeve. If you haven't been following the singles...   expand review  we've released (both of which are now out of print), this is another guise for the prolific Herren, where he played all instruments- primarily Rhodes, busted Wurlitzer, and drums- for all the songs, and rearranged them in his studio in Spain. We think it's some of his best work, landing favorably between the Prefuse and Savath & Savalas styles. Lush and live sounding but with a slight production edge- check tracks like "Springs Arrival(1), Agoraphobia(2), Walk Home(3)" and "Stay Home(4)" for the goods. Bonus features on the LP include the instrumental(5) to Blu Jemz' Keyboard King remix, and the unreleased alternate take(6) of Diplo's remix, neither of which appeared on the previous PO vinyl. -the mgmnt

What more is to say about Scott Herren here at the Lab? The electronica sifu comes in his beloved Prefuse 73 guise dropping that textured hip-hop-electronica we've come to understand and appreciate. There's some folk and indy thrown in these days, but...   expand review  it's the same off-kilter, masterfully executed stuff. Check: "Girlfriend Boyfriend(1), Beaten Thursdays(2), Class of 73 Bells(3), Smoking Red(4), Pomade Suite Version One(5)," and "Spaced + Dissonant(6)." Extra bonus, both vinyl and CD versions come with a CD featuring an extra-15 tracks! -the mgmnt

New Prefuse album out of nowhere?! Sort of. On the Warp site he says "it's not a follow up to Surrounded By Silence, but merely a transition between the last album and what's to come- and the next one is going to...   expand review  be completely different all together." So this one is like a collection of 18 tracks (some real short) that he's been working on in the meantime. And as opposed to a lot of his recent work, he's almost exclusively solo on here (with the exception of two collab's with Four Tet), with the sound goes back to the chopped up compositions that we first heard on Uprock Narratives. FULL REVIEW COMING SOON. -the mgmnt

Scott Herren is back with the opening salvo from his upcoming Preparations album. "The Class of 73 Bells(1)" featuring the mysterious conglomerate band School of Seven Bells is the usual blend of folk, electronica, and hip-hop we are accustomed to from Herren;...   expand review  but I am consistently impressed by the finesse by which he pulls it off. "Smoking Red(2)" featuring drummer Red Stanier is a nod to Prefuse's longtime fans with hard beats that eventually soften amidst Herren's tones and frenetic sample play. Vintage Prefuse! "En Blanco(3)" starts off the b-side with a texturized psyche-kraut sound; and this taster ends with a "strings" version(4) of "Class." Limited distribution on this single, so act quick. -the mgmnt
