Style: experimental hip hop, ambient, dub
Primary Emotions/Themes: darkness can come in many forms, sometimes from those places least expected
Thoughts: Some of my favorite albums in my collection are the one off odd balls that I have no idea how they got there. Ooid is one of these records.
Sunun's music is somewhere in between instrumental hip hop and dub. It's unlike anything else I've ever heard, and I wish I knew more music like this. I absolutely adore it.
The music feels incomplete in the way that the samples are put together. Moments where the main instrumentation will suddenly stop, or come crashing in out of nowhere. The way that Ooid does this is rather disconcerting, and it keeps happening over and over. I am constantly on edge when I listen to the album, and that's what keeps me coming back to it.
I wish I knew more music like this... this is something else to listen to. It's eerie, it's janky, and it's truly unnerving and dark. It taps into the more sinister side of music that is rare to hear... a side of music that few have ever managed to even touch... yet somehow in these twenty minutes Sunun have managed to master it.
