Epstein y El Conjunto -
When Man Is Full He Falls Asleep
Downloading now through Amazon.
Epstein is Roberto Carlos Lange, a Florida-born son of Ecuadorean immigrants. He records as
Boom & Birds,
Helado Negro, and several other names, and has collaborated with
Prefuse 73 on his latest album as well as the latest
Savath & Savalas album. His music (what I have heard, at least) is basically organic Latin-influenced instrumental hip-hop/glitch-hop/downtempo. Haven't heard this one yet, only found out about it this morning. The album features a collaboration with
School of Seven Bells and one with Jason Trammell of
Yeasayer.

When Man is Full He Falls Asleep, a hazy dreamscape of bass, beats, and gloriously washed-out electronics. Like Lange's work in Asthmatic Kitty act Helado Negro, there's an organic playfulness to these songs, each looping, synth-pulsing, head-noddin', tape-collage evocative of things like drowsy afternoons DJing vinyl records for yourself, sleepy mornings with coffee and Wu-Tang on the Walkman, and sweaty summer block parties in Lange's current homebase of Brooklyn.
