A Lion's Baptism
2013 Release. Even if you pride yourself on your boundless appetite for weird music, Innercity’s A Lion’s Baptism will ruffle the cilia in your ears in novel ways. On his debut for Further Records, Innercity (hyper-prolific Antwerp Belgium producer Hans Dens) shoves typical notions of rhythms into the abyss and conjures a murky mystique. Endlessly fascinating bafflement ensues. A Lion’s Baptism starts with deceptive conventionality, as “the essence of the earth as arch as arc” fades in wi…

Good times can be had in the urban tragedy, but overall life…
