About

The Brooklyn, N.Y.–based electronic producer and drummer Zachary Shigeto Saginaw does a U-turn with his 2012 mini-album <i>Lineage</i>. Where 2010’s <i>Full Circle</i> was overwrought with frantic rhythms and distorted synth outbursts, <i>Lineage</i> is an immediately mellower outing. “Lineage (Prologue)” opens with warbling tremolo tones undulating alongside the campfire crackle of dusty vinyl-record ambience. The proper title track has looped rimshots clicking and clacking under shuffling rhythms and fluttering synthesizer tones. All this is punctuated by a jazz-rooted foundation—part of Shigeto's upbringing in Ann Arbor, Mich. For “Ann Arbor Part 3 & 4,” vintage Wurlitzer tones hum and curl alongside timeless piano notes and instrumental hip-hop patterns. It vaguely recalls a time in the early '90s when acid jazz buzzed through the pages of British music magazines. Following a flutter of stormy analog-synth cacophony, “A Child’s Mind” expands on jazzy soundscapes with double bass and a snare tight enough to bounce a quarter off of.
