Hot Roddy MP3s

Hot Roddy (born Chris Cook) has posted three free songs on the 8bitrecs.com netlabel, here: “Hope” is that rare breed, a sitar rave-up, with vaguely drum’n’bass-style tabla percussion matching its stop’n’start pacing; “Fade” is a tasty downtempo post-rock nugget with a drum machine heart; and “Acapella” is a buzzy, upbeat track of 4/4 lo-fi electronica, which disintegrates delectably as it comes to a close (it’s also vocal-free, like the other two cuts, despite its title).
