Object sees Lawrence English cut a fresh pathway into the foliage-ridden realm of leftfield hip-hop beatscapes.
Tipping his hat to movements such as NYC's swelling Rooftop Music community, contemporary hip-hop, Jamaican Dancehall and abstract electronics, English's work as Object seeks out the unfamiliar and the submerged. Object draws together the overlooked elements of many styles and clashes them together in a controlled explosion of rhythm, texture and composition.
In essence Object's Pandemic explores the fallout of hip-hop. It seeks out what lies between the beats and aims to explore rhythm in unusual ways.
Interested more in the implications of rhythm (shown clearly on tracks such as 'Horizon' and 'Be Seeing You' that loosely draw influence from the riddims of Jamaican Dancehall), than the actual presence of the beat structures themselves, Object rearranges the nature of traditional frameworks - yet is still invested with the memory of scenes explored by those that have travelled before.
