Can't Tie My Shoes

I’m to believe 
That you were at home
Reading aloud
Spanking your bone
Savouring his words
Like renegades should
Whispering Blake
Two hands on the wood
When out of the white
The vision comes fast
The vocal of god 
Of days in the past
Reciting the psalms 
The scriptures and song
Manhood in hand, singing along

Yugoslav child with his eyes on the hills
The mother of christ 
Through his fever and chills
This I am taught to ignore and to mock
But what of the same
From a man in New York
A man in New York with unanimous clout
And that was why they
Knew what you’re about 
And yet with a prayer I hope that it’s true
That they’d choose Harlem and choose you

Kitchen-sink rap. Council-estate existentialism. Suburban surrealism.

I lost 777’s very good verse and couldn’t be arsed to cut it properly, so the second verse is just blank. Soz.

Found this on an old drive. When I made this, I was really trying to do something. Build a persona. The idea was what if art came from villages on the edges of England’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cities? What if rap belonged there?

Art for the people who think art isn’t for them. That was the point.

But then I overanalysed it to death. Kept trying to get it perfect. Wanted to control how people would perceive it. and when I couldn’t, I sacked the whole thing off.

This was probably the best track of the lot, though. It deserves to be out there. Even if it’s just on my shite soundcloud. That’s the least Russell of Suburbia - the tired, anxious, alcoholic, brilliant, genius, pathetic, trying dad - deserves.

prod me

peacoat on my shoulder like I'm a soldier 
prada penny loafers and I'm the owner
need a blow torch what you needa know for
its always me when you think its you

sparkling water and Ativan 
she wants me to stand but I just can't
I said I sentence did you understand
real life I mess with it
six or seven in my pocket
wake up tired im still off it
not loud very sedated
Balmain very faded

A winter mix of music and sound.

Featuring Amirtha Kidambi & Lea Bertucci, Lorenzo Senni, Judee Sill, Ai Aso, Pure.O, Claire Rousay, Ichiko Aoba, The King’s Singers, Chris Weisman, More Eaze, Jürg Frey, Ed Atkins, Sean McCann, Matthew Sullivan, Alex Twomey, Eiko Ishibashi, Nour Mobarek, and more.

This is my fifteenth consecutive end-of-year mix, and the pleasures of the requisite dredge never wane. It’s a poignant marker for me. Much of what’s here is from this year, regarding my encounter with it. More than anything, the mix describes what’s buoyed me: liveness, interiority, bodies, pining, noise.  

As with every year, please accept this in the spirit it was made: as a gift, and with love.
