Colonial Patterns
Kansas City producer Brian Leeds’ impressive debut album as Huerco S follows a handful of 12”s and cassettes. Filtering his work through yesterday’s technology, he makes techno folk music in the traditional sense: a music that carries remnants of the past into the future.
After building up a buzz with releases on Opal Tapes and Wicked Bass, abstract techno producer Huerco S. (Brian Leeds) made his full-length debut on Daniel Lopatin's Software imprint in 2013 with the magnificent Colonial Patterns.
Having recently been lumped in with the newfangled, controversial "outsider house" genre by the British music press, you may be surprised to discover that the debut album by Huerco S. (aka American musician Brian Leeds) is mostly a full-length of lo-fi synths and sample-heavy, deep techno.
