 | | On paper, Scott Herren's latest Prefuse 73 disc doesn't appear radically unlike One Word Extinguisher: structurally, it's an hour-long connecting stream of dense, succinct vocal and instrumental pieces framed by an intro and outro. |
 | | And rumour has it that, just as he followed up One Word Extinguisher with the equally satisfying addendum Extinguished: Outtakes, so too will Surrounded By Silence be followed by a related disc of collaborations with Madlib, Diplo, Four Tet, and Mia Doi Todd, among others. |
 | | Lif, and Diverse, the album remains primarily Herren alone; the new album, on the other hand, is almost entirely collaborations (with artists like Aesop Rock, D.J. Nobody, The Books, Claudia and Alejandra Deheza, Beans, Tyondai Braxton, and Camu), a move which consequently finds the Prefuse sound being stretched into startling new configurations. |
