“Hands down, one of the best instrumental hip-hop records in years.
It’s layers of moods, styles and textures will overload your senses.
”
Eddie Fleisher - Alternative Press
“Rocking a soulful approach to vinyl digging and production, Metaform drops an eminently listenable, head-bobbing excursion here. Sweet sax drops, chest-thumping bass and whomping percussion direct the buzzy, crackling grooves. Cinematic and addictive, like Dj Shadow at his best.”
Jim Tremayne - DJ Times
“Metaform takes the listener on an audible journey that few other
Producers are capable.
”
Jason Kordich - Jive Magazine
“What we have here is a 19-track collection that is as varied as it is strong. And it doesn’t lose you for a second.”
Andrew Martin - Pop Matters
“The way that Metaform blends live instrumentation with samples
and captures so many moods with his music, each track here
provides a new experience.”
Max Herman, - XLR8R
“Shoulders feels like a hand-crafted mixtape of a true vinyl junkie
music nerd, and it's that omnivorous sense of discovery that makes
the album feel consistently fresh.”
Michael Tedder - CMJ
“Look no further than to the erratic, digger-framed freak-outs in “As
if in a Dream,” or to the pastiche of choral samples and splintering
psyche of “Barbie Doll” for this guy's own stamp on a genre with which he is quite familiar.”
Dominic Umile - REMIX
“Metaform vividly illustrates Giants as a colorful hodgepodge of
samples and live instrumentation all of which is then smelted into
trip-hop beats and hissing strings—all tempos and riddims that are
downright cool struttin’.”
Chris Pacifico - URB
