The Republic by Sam Prekop - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

These 15 electronic instrumentals continue the adventurous soundscapes of Sam Prekop’s previous solo release, Old Punch Card. Both albums stand apart among his varied discography, including his work with The Sea and Cake, and The Republic particularly so. The first nine tracks were created for a video installation and work well as an interconnected noise piece. The last six tracks show more variety while still featuring only analog synthesizers and drum machines. On these tracks the music hisses, pops, and warbles while riding hypnotic grooves and static rhythms. The results are mesmerizing and experimental yet melodic enough to be approachable, warm, and inviting.
