Review:
Long Island in New York isn't exactly the first place you think of when you listen to Blind Prophet's latest release Skeleton Key - the tight rolling 2-step and deadly bass lurking underneath the title track, lost in a haze of smoky synths, sounds like something to come out of London's garage scene ten years ago. However, both this and "Got Me Thinking", rich in shimmering electronic melody bring to mind fellow city-dwellers FaltyDL and Policy. Remix support comes from Unknown, who turns in a growling dubstep refix of "Skeleton Key", maintaining the loose rhythms of the original while beefing it up with some fat low end, and HGLDT, whose remix of "Got Me Thinking" contains rhythms so free-flowing it recalls a jazz improvisation at times, with a kosmische synth backdrop that highlights the dreamy quality of the fine original.
