Winston Hytwr - As Per My Last Email (CS) (Lets Pretend Records)

"On his new As Per My Last Email tape, Hytwr specializes in queasy keyboard sounds and lo-fi programmed beats. He bounces around that enivronment with the utmost confidence, letting his songs morph and fray without losing their propulsive energy, throwing himself into every jarring vocal melody, and even breaking out into a rap cadence near the end to declare, “On and on like an emoticon.” Hytwr says the album “was created thru lack of desire to play guitar. I’m feeling really deranged and stranged and want to send shockwaves into my brain. The story is frightened, the mood is enlightened.” Sounds about right!"
