	Creative Loafing Atlanta
		Not that Scott Herren -- the former Atlantan who records frayed hip-hop and digital-flecked folk under the names Prefuse 73 and Savath & Savalas -- is some sort of lush (though, Lord knows, musicians are rarely far removed from alcohol).
		Herren's father's heritage is Catalan, a culture distinct to the Catalunya region that encompasses Barcelona.
		Herren has produced a collection of twilight introspections, tracks slowly unwinding as if they were lightly sipped aperitifs on a fading afternoon.

		Speculation as to Herren’s motivation has focused on the Spanish father he never met and the end of the relationship that was the subject of One Word Extinguisher.
		Herren explains, “I had to save money, and before that there were other things that were stopping me, but I finally got up the time and the money together and the motivation together to just pick up all my stuff and put it in boxes and go.”
		Herren gave showgoers the heads up on a new Savath & Savalas EP slated for release this summer, as well as a Prefuse 73 set to drop at the beginning of 2005.

		Scott Herren is a formidable beat maker, spinning shit that is both fresh and invigorating.
		Herren was given some improvisational and older sounds from The Books, listened carefully, and then created his own vision to co-exist with Zammuto and de Jong's concepts.
		Scott knew what he was doing when he put such dynamically different voices in the studio together.

		Herren is a musician, and Prefuse 73 is just one of his many personas.

		I must admit that I started listening to Scott Herren relatively recently, making last year's pair of Prefuse 73 albums something of a revelation.
		Herren, credited on the album as Guillermo Scott Herren, sings back-up vocals and does an impressive job with production and arrangements, but never really lets his beat-making abilities shine.
		However, the lack of ingenuity (surprising considering ingenuity is something we've come to expect from Herren) and rather set tone of the album certainly detract from the overall effect.

	My name is (Metro Times Detroit)
		How’s this: Scott Herren may just be the very model of the post-millennial DIY music.
		More exactly, Herren deftly mixes classic hip hop with electronica, hints of exotica and synthesized lounge, glitchy laptop algorithms and the sort of funk that can only come out of a necessity to get the sounds in his head into a sequencer, onto a tape, just out.
		Herren is as pragmatically vague about his music’s place in the marketplace as he is meticulous about its construction: “I just make music.

	Scott Herren - Artist Profile - Stylus Magazine
		As such, there were few tracks that could be picked out as singular instances of his brilliance- but the overall premonition gained from the proceedings was that this was a talent to be watched for in the future.
		Recording for the Schematic imprint, Herren combined the ambient, jazz, and hip-hop influences that he had been pursuing with Savath and his Prefuse73 project into a blender of static inflected avant-compositions.
		In a recent interview with Stylus Magazine, Herren admitted that on his newest release, One Word Extinguisher that he consciously went away from the cut-up vocals to prove to himself and fans that he was not merely a one-trick pony.

		after a lifetime spent kicking about in the smoke and concrete of atlanta, scott herren decided to shed the hip-hop cocoon of his prefuse 73 persona and fly to the spanish shores of his father.
		although the instrumentation is not violently cut up or processed, herren does allow himself some subtle dissections, broadening the palette and opening up more expansive vistas from the dewy-eyed intimacy of the original recordings.
		of course, artists of herren’s calibre should be given this kind of freedom to experiment with different forms.

		Herren is constantly working and always seems to have something by one or more of his projects in the new releases section.
		Herren said those projects provided nice breaks as he was immersing himself in the Spanish countryside and starting to write the songs for Apropa't.
		Herren said he always knows which project a new song should be a part of and the different projects keep him refreshed since his busy music schedule leaves him little time for other endeavors.

	Prefuse 73: Pitchfork Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		But in person, Scott Herren, the man behind this digital fusion, couldn't be more real: Lately, thanks largely to posts made on his official website, he's become known as much for his fiery temper as for his genre-defining LPs.
		Herren: With this record in particular, since I won't do another record that's all collabs, I wanted to make the point that I'm aware of putting people in different environments or pairing them up with different emcees and doing it tastefully or non-novelty is still crucial.
		Herren: I would say the starting point was the skating rink, booty shake, Dirty South, old school bounce shit.

	Audiversity: Guillermo Scott Herren
		Herren on turntables/samplers/random electronic equipment was Nobody along with a fantastic female Japanese drummer who would pick up any beat he threw out her in a matter of seconds.
		Prefuse 73, derived from Herren's biggest musical influence, pre-fusion jazz circa 1973, is synonymous with incredibly creative hip-hop that pushes the genre to the outer possible limits.
		Herren describes his folk infused side project as this, "if Prefuse is my best friend, then Savath & Savalas is my baby." While listening to any of his releases under this moniker, one can immediately understand the tenderness and love he puts into each one of these albums.

		Prefuse73, unlike Brazil 66, is the work of a lone gun, a super-sharpshooter with an army of aliases who mostly answers to the name Scott Herren.
		Ensconced in the Atlanta, GA with backyard pit bull breeders for neighbors, outland anonymity is the perfect cover for this Clerk Kent of the mixing desk.
		Technological imperative springs from natural impulse — Scott’s watched his hometown turn into a haven for hip hop hustlers who’d play’d themselves out in NY, magpie-eyed B-Boys with bling bling fixations whose heavyweight status is demarcated by the hi-score carats and mineral weights of their chunky chains and chubby rings.

	Print Article: Rhythm and rhyme
		Taking his alias from the 1970s era of pre-fusion jazz, Herren has a new take on the genre: a blend of beats, electronica and montages of spliced vocals that is a world away from the mainstream hip-hop of Eminem and 50 Cent.
		Journalists obsessed with labels describe his music in terms ranging from "glitch" to "click-hop", but Herren is adamant that what he creates is simply hip-hop.
		Herren's use of language works like another layer of instrumentation rather than a standard vocal track of linear rhymes.

	* Dusted Reviews - Savath and Savalas *
		In the case of Scott Herren, Savath & Savalas and the since deceased Delarosa + Asora are often perceived as offshoots to his Prefuse 73 work.
		Herren then carted the tapes to John McEntire's Soma Electronic Music Studio in Chicago, where he pretty much let McEntire have his way with the mix.
		This complete about face in Herren’s musicality can partly be attributed to the fact that this is not simply his gig.

		With the critical success of both, we began to realize that Herren is not only extremely talented at his craft, but he’s also quite prolific at churning out one exceptional album after another.
		Herren spent nearly a year and a half in Barcelona, Spain for personal reasons and in that time became acquainted with Eva Puyelo Muns, a Catalano singer who lends her vocals to most of the album.

		Group mastermind Scott Herren cuts up vocals, drums, guitars and countless other random sounds with razor-sharp precision, turning those sonic slivers into the most compelling instrumental hip-hop since DJ Shadow blew everyone away in the mid-'90s with the release of the groundbreaking album Endtroducing....
		This wasn't the case Oct. 30 at the Empty Bottle as Herren, along with a shaggy-haired turntablist and Tortoise's John Herndon on drums, blasted the crowd with the same attention deficit-destroying glitch-hop found on his records while maintaining a palpable sense of spontaneity throughout.
		Herren pushed his tiny sampler to the limit, melding a microscopic vocal sample to fit the song's cluster-bomb-explosion beat, wreaking exuberant havoc for a total of 80 wonderfully compact seconds.

		Herren even shows some humility and a sense of humor about himself by including a snippet of a radio interview where the host pretty much disses the last Prefuse record.
		Scott Herren -- who was responsible for the equally underachieving Delarosa albums on Schematic -- has managed to push all the right buttons in terms of hype generation for his Prefuse 73 project, but never really gets the album off the ground.
		Scott Kannberg (aka Spiral Stairs and formerly of Pavement) and his Preston School of Industry is a slight disappointment when held in comparison to its predecessor, PSOI's spritely energetic debut All This Sounds Gas from 2001.

	Prefuse 73 talks turntablism - Entertainment
		Herren first gained prominence with his excellent 2001 debut full-length, "Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives," which gave listeners their first taste of his unique sound - a bouncy, stuttering collage aesthetic, in which hip-hop vocals, edited to near insensibility, are expertly arranged over skittery b-boy breaks.
		Herren, from Atlanta, released "Vocal Studies" on British label Warp, home to electronic stalwarts like Boards of Canada, Autechre and Aphex Twin, thus ensuring crossover appeal with both backpackers and chin-stroking, book-reading, "intelligent techno" types.
		The album was recorded in Spain, where Herren now resides, and was mastered by Tortoise's John McEntire in Chicago with live contributions from Herndon and Town and Country's Josh Abrams, among others.

		Unlike in the past, their vocals are mostly untouched; it seems that Herren who "didn't want to record rappers rapping over a beat" on his first album, Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives, has come to terms with just how damn good it sounds.
		Scott Herren knows what he wants, and he's willing to work for it.
		The truth of the matter is that Scott Herren needs the biters, as much as he doesn't want to admit it.
