{"product_id":"post-love-686162826681","title":"Post-love","description":"As an Austin native, Rob From Garden Street's tastes are the evolving sum of a hundred festival lineups. Having grown up with a love of '90s hip-hop, he began making beats in the late '00s, prompted by the illegally downloaded catalogs of Kanye West, J Dilla, and MF Doom. Confronted daily with the increasingly compromised identity of his East Austin neighborhood, Rob cites beatmaking as his chosen coping mechanism, sometimes withdrawing for weeks at a time to curate drum kits, source samples, and emerge with experimental new material to test on local showcases such as Austin Instrumental Music Fest, Imaginary Stereo, and Exploded Drawing.    Post-Love, Rob's first release on the Insect Records label, was provoked by his revulsion towards the plethora of disposable relax\/study beats he now finds traumatically intolerable ever since breaking up with his own cat-owning despondent girl in a sweater. Produced over a single year, the tape serves as a \"soundtrack to catharsis and the shedding of old skin.\"   Post-Love's 17 song collection adds a kinetic, electrical burned complexity to the analog boom-bap formula, departing from the standard breakbeats and chops that defined the dusty, crate-digging sound of Rob's early bumps. From the swarming, percussive blitz of it's opening song-samples scorched beyond algorithmic recognition-the tape's decidedly un-chill track list sidesteps the contemporary interpretation of lo-fi as low energy, instead offering an exciting mix of melodic influences at a Ritalin's BPM, ranging from the aggressively off-kilter to the downright symphonic.","brand":"Insect Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46403396763731,"sku":"2295589X","price":10.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3820432.jpg?v=1790299614","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/post-love-686162826681","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
