Holy Fuck – Latin (Young Turks/XL Recordings)
I checked my player three times after starting Holy Fuck‘s latest, Latin, just to make sure the thing was playing. There was nothing wrong, as I discovered with each quick glance, it’s just that the album’s opener, “1MD,” takes its own sweet time in opening up; a few minutes go by before you actually hear something music related.
When the skies finally do manage to part, this Toronto-based project delivers some impressive electronic workouts.
Just because it’s been several months since we’ve done a Forkast update, it doesn’t mean we haven’t been paying attention.
