Album Review: Loggerhead by Wu-Lu
Fantastic, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 9/10
The two-note bassline pulses hypnotically, the snare hits are crisp, bright strings unfurl gorgeously like blooming flowers, and the backing vocals hover and float. It provides an immediate glimpse of the musicality that Miles Romans-Hopcraft (the man behind the moniker) possesses. He mutters and drones about the truth and struggle, that the "journey's far to go", and about "taking the throne".
Opinion: Excellent
South London multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist Wu-Lu has unleashed his debut album 'LOGGERHEAD'. The versatile and genre-bending twelve-track project merges rap and heavy metal influences to produce a grungy, post-punk take on the sound of modern London. Occasionally contrasting scratchy, warped guitar riffs with floating string arrangements, expertly layered over grinding bass and triplet-laced drums.
