Sepalcure “Not Gonna Make It”

It’s hard to believe a whopping six years have passed since Travis ‘Machinedrum‘ Stewart and Praveen ‘Braille‘ Sharma first locked heads under the Sepalcure moniker. Hotflush Recordings have been chronicling their tale each step of the way, with six EPs and now two feature length albums in the kitty.

This album follows in the same broken beat footsteps of their self-titled LP of 2011. Being from such different worlds, the pair insisted on working together in person — hence why it’s taken a little longer for their second extended piece of homework to emerge. Folding Time‘s 11 tracks consist of both brand new material, as well as older forgotten projects that have been revived over many bottles of whisky. They explain that the title comes from the fact that, “it felt like we were connecting the present with the past. Going through each session was like digging through old memories.”

The all-encompassing work found in Folding Time is the result of their musical differences – factoring in both field recordings to live instrumentation. Tracks are multilayered and full of intimate easter eggs that are the final product of “two homies hanging out and having fun; a meeting of our minds.” Our top pick is “Not Gonna Make It”, getting straight to the point with stuttering footwork-esque rhythms and fractured vox that are now a Sepalcure trademark.

Indulge in Folding Time in all its fullness on May 20th.
