Cities Aviv steps outside his own D.O.T. Audio Arts label for a release on Black Truffle with Even Colder Spring. Across 16 tracks, Wilbert Gavin Mays pushes hip-hop into stranger territory, splicing warped loops, field recordings, distorted production and unpredictable vocal performances into a constantly shifting whole. Moments of abrasive intensity sit alongside shimmering passages that hint at new age, krautrock and lo-fi electronics. Lyrically, apocalyptic visions, reflections on mortality and surreal observations collide, creating an album that's as elusive as it is compelling. A Corwood Industries-inspired sleeve completes this singular, deeply personal work.
