Boxcutter – Glyphic

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

Despite being Ireland’s only Dubstep producer who has released an album, Barry Lynn aka Boxcutter surpasses most of his peers all over the world due to his broad-minded view on dubstep production. With this follow-up from 2006’s Oneiric, he has made a dubstep album to be listened to sequentially (much like some other lad called Burial or summat??) informed by jazzy flute samples, jungle, grime, 2-step and AFX-like electronica all fusing into a coherent release. Like Burial, there are no MCs and this won’t be played in clubs. It’s the sound of a man from Armagh pushing his sound further into acclaim.
