Future Archive Recordings is extremely proud and excited to present new material from Blockhead. The internationally renowned NYC producer has released 10 albums over the past 15 years, including four acclaimed records for Ninja Tune and numerous production jobs including notable works with Aesop Rock. He is regarded as one of the modern masters of instrumental hip-hop, and the forthcoming new album sees him return to record-label-released music with the bold and exciting roster at Future Archive Recordings (co-founded by artists Arms and Sleepers, Sun Glitters, Little People and CNJR, and also co-run by Mark McGlinchey).

BUBBLE BATH is a record born out of meditative expression and ongoing personal creative challenge, key for a producer of Blockhead’s experience. Carried forward are the incredible hook and sample placement skills of classic works such as Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book and Music By Cavelight, but what has emerged is an overwhelming sense of natural musicality and sophistication.

“I want the music I make to be unaffected by outside influences. I like the idea of working in a bubble… When I have to describe what I do, to someone, it’s always a little awkward because it starts as “I’m a musician” and as questions come back it gets broken down. “No, I don’t play any instruments” “No, I’m not trained in musical theory” “I make beats”. When it comes down to it, everything I do has always been guided by my ears and sensibility.”

New LP opening track and lead single On The Bright Side is a stunning, woozy and dreamlike slab of instrumental hip-hop. This first song galvanises Blockhead’s ethos toward instrumental music: “The reason I never got into instrumental music is because I find it monotonous. My goal has been to avoid that. It’s hard to attach truly personal things to instrumental music because, generally, those feelings are expressed in words. So, I have to kinda put forth moods and leave the rest up to the listener.”

BUBBLE BATH is available now on Double Vinyl, CD, Cassette, and Digital formats as well as various Merch Bundles.

So, I'm super aware that my last 15 albums were just me complaining about my day job.  This one's not like that.  Was originally going to be called, Summer of George, cause I made it in the summer and it's about everything that happened this summer and I don't have a job.  But I went with, Good Things because it's very much about why we need good things and it's also the name of the first track...

LYRICS:
Aesop Rock

Roses for the OG MF, where were you when Bob dropped the OG Deadbent?
I was over Tony’s on some “Whoa is that? No, is that...?
Yes it’s Zev Love X, sounding reckless”
I took it to the head and heart
You were back as Metal Face and threatening my pearl white Acura from the 2nd barBarfing up a master class in charismatic disrespect 
And trash talk, mask on, mac and cheese Timberlands
Sold the first Apple Seed cd's at your Brownies show
While you were saying "something to remember like the Alamo”
I was yelling every word and never late
And when you finally played “Hey!” I felt the venue levitate
Ask anyone, L.I. to upstate
Come to learn it’s only phase 1 of the flood gates
DOOM stay gluing true grit to the bass line
And made himself a hero and a villain at the same time
Back in ‘94 you had that line about the Nikes on the wire  
I’d always see these Nikes on the wire when I was driving through a neighborhood somebody said you stayed in
Convinced I’d found the actual inspiration 
For the record I was not even close to the right neighborhood
Even when the heart is pure, the brain is mush
Thank you for the stories, and the fuck you to the normies
Brewin said we lost our Jordan, I would sprinkle in some Vorhees and agree
Breeze I have this memory of me and you
Rapping Meat Grinder to each other at a BBQ in BK 
Got the same memory with a couple other people too
Trading DOOM lines, that’s what people do
You were always kind to me in person
I tried to play it cool but I was always kinda nervous
30 summers a guide in the muddy waters
To the man with many names: I hope you’re somewhere with your brother, yea


Homeboy Sandman

Supervillain tho
Illin tho
Chopping records that my parents listened to
DOOM was on a mission to remind you that the magic is what matters
But where’d he find that banter?
Where’d he find them patterns?
He ain’t had no manners
My favorite villain is The Drop off Viktor Vaughn
But every time I hear the Great Day intro I’ma sing along
And cats be sleeping on the GMO's them lessons on point
We share a brother in Kuri from the ? joint
Supervillain in the function then his peoples never far
Thanks for introducing us to John Robinson and Stahhr
And a era full of rarified jewels
And making use of airtime for making bad hairlines cool
Being crazy takes guts
Monsta Island Czars had a rep for being nuts
Extra special words
Scent of special herbs still lingers
My pantheon is Bird and Mingus, Prince and Metal Fingers
Larger than life, he had his own Nikes
I’m a Clearweather brand dude but dag DOOM
MM FOOD was the anagram
Fresh put me on I proceed to put on anyone that was famalam
And
Every particle genuine article
Okay you stiffed a few promoters
Who thought they booked the man under the mask but they could never tell for certain
Walking the walk, while talking in third person
He wore a mask so the charge won’t grab
On a rooftop with a large stone slab
Seen where the industry was going and
Had the gonads
To go “nah”
Thanks
A bar is not a measure
Of music DOOM was doing it’s a unit a buried treasure
No one ever done it better
So I’ma keep my computer on caps lock forever.
