Spencer Hodo - Extricate & Prosper

Spencer Hodo indefatigable streak of releases continues to impress with 'Extricate & Prosper', a compact EP of forward thinking electronic to get the folks excited for a brand new full-length album due this September, releasing on cassette in tandem with its digital drop. Featured therein will be the titular tracks 'Extricate' and 'Prosper', but this EP stands on its own for two additional tracks 'Cob' and 'Pseudo', the former dabbling in unexpectedly savory jazz manipulated to the tune of glitch and the latter weaponizing propulsive 4/4 to bore deep into the earth's mantle and deliver the listener a series of positively subterranean grooves.

Despite its foremost flavors of deep house and techno, 'Extricate & Prosper' remains, as does most work from Hodo, not easily reducible to one outright influence. An artist unassailable in the pursuit of the multitudinous sounds that tantalize them, 'E&P' should telegraph to Hodoheads that the album to follow shares this philosophy of eclecticism, and then some. For the time being, there is so much to savor in the clangorous, barreling grooves and off-kilter jazzy chops of 'E&P' that one feels downright gluttonous to know a main course is soon to follow such a hearty entree as this.
