"Dirty Tapes" - dvr


January 20, 2022

( Automatic translation from a french text )

We explore for this Album of the Week the pre-twenties with the young Scottish Dillon van Rensburg, or "dvr" for his (many) listeners ... Everything went very fast for this little DIY prodigy, but it's only deserved, so much this mix of lo-fi and hip-hop is of a crazy elegance ... If we can think of King Krule at first, dvr's music really has something more, a flow which in the same gesture is at the same time rough, round, never demonstrative and yet of an absolute obviousness ... This EP "Dirty Tapes" ( @xlrecordings , Beggars France ) overflows with a songwriting full of sincerity and a love of music in every way pleasing, even if the subject matter is not always that joyful ...

So let's keep our fingers crossed that the big bad wolf of the music industry doesn't crush this proud, still tender shoot !
