TEEZO TOUCHDOWN AGE

6/23/2023

His sound defines a generation, skillfully combining elements from a multitude
of genres to create groundbreaking tracks that exist on the fringes of popular
music. A prolific collaborator, he has worked with the likes of Ezra Koenig,
ASAP Ferg, Little Dragon, Sampha, Drake, and The Dream.

SBTRKT emerged onto the scene in the early 2010’s, going onto release two
critically lauded albums. Musically it's an expansion on my previous records -
with a purposefully wider and more layered sound.Īll instruments on this song
and the album played, recorded, produced and mixed by me.” It therefore felt
like the most obvious song to then lead into my album with. In some ways -
although personal to Teezo too - it perfectly vocalised everything I had been
going through.

I’m always listening to and looking out for new music - and came across a song
of Teezo’s ‘I’m just a fan’ - in oct 21 - by serendipity he was heading to
London the next week so we connected in person. There is the juxtaposition in
the record between determination and hopelessness. It’s partly based on my own
challenging experiences within the music industry and life generally - though I
realised the idea is not isolated from a much wider feeling of exhaustion –
definitely true here in the UK with little sense of respite from ever increasing
costs/ decreasing opportunity / and a bold divide and conquer mentality. ‘The
Rat Road’ title is a play on the concept of ‘the rat race’. “This album has been
my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path -
which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of what SBTRKT should be. Speaking
about The Rat Road and "Waiting" SBTRKT shares: The new track features vocals
from the hotly tipped Texas-based artist Teezo Touchdown, his vocals deftly
woven between SBTRKT’s melancholic chords, rising toward a crescendo of phasing
drum patterns and glistening keys.

Stripped back and elegantly arranged, “Waiting” is gracefully drenched in reverb
and hypnagogic synths.
