when his friends told him he would live past her bulletproof and reissued good as new all the clout and money left to chase after who could say what it's good for without two? and they say the world is on your plate and they say it's really not so bad and they say your life is gonna change just play the game and live for what you have in store but i don't see a reason without love i would need it, i would need it i don't see a reason without love i would need it, i would need it i don't see a reason without love i would need it, i would need it i don't see a reason without love i would need it, i would need it

about

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 its 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.

An invigorating ear-feast for fans of Dabrye’s Two/Three, Metal Fingers, and Adult Swim in ‘06.

about

Rob From Garden Street Austin, Texas

My name is Rob, from Garden Street, in Neo-Austin, Texas.

For all I've seen, I know four true things:

1) Love is pain.

2) Pain is God.

3) Malt liquor washes out easily.

4) My beats are the language of God.
