Jonny Drop / Andrew Ashong - Puzzle Dust

4 years in the making, this surprise collaboration between Drop and Ashong fuses soul and psychedelia with downtempo beats. Ashong’s continuing mission to subvert expectations manifests greatly here, but the album is full of melodic hooks, layered to infinity alongside his acoustic guitar. Meanwhile Jonny Drop quietly flips samples unrecognisable from his extensive vinyl collections and once again makes a leap forward in his production identity. Stand out single Puzzle Dust is a perfect slice of UK soul and jazz that sets everyone up for a unique sonic experience.
