Sepalcure - Pencil Pimp

Sepalcure may well turn out to be one of Hotflush’s best finds (I can certainly think of a few labels that probably wish they had gotten onto them first). The first single from their just-released debut album is Pencil Pimp, with an exclusive track entitled I’m Alright included.

Pencil Pimp is high-energy bass music with just the right amount of soul. Children’s chants and downtuned diva wails fill out a melancholy, yet upbeat, tapestry of scattered percussive rhythms and stuttered beats, big sub bass growls, almost ravey synth stabs and lush, sparkly chimes and chords. The sort of tune that makes you want to dance, but also makes you want to just stop and listen to grasp its full complexity.

I’m Alright is hard to describe. Really hard. Imagine an ever-mutating mass of aural energy comprised of soulful keys, snappy beats, chopped-up girly vocals, and quirky synth warbles that starts out sparse and experimental and ends up sounding like up tempo R&B. Then, imagine it being more like a vortex which sucks in every bit of positive energy in the world around it to create a giant ball of smiley happiness. Or something. That’s about the best I can do. Listen to it, you’ll like it.
