The latest single “Universe Is Blessed” from sample-based producer Wise Blood (aka Chris Laufman) feels less claustrophobic–more open-air landscapes and empty highways–than previous single ‘Rat”. Marrying smooth string samples to a simplistic, though effective, beat, this track showcases Laufman’s ability to build a catchy hook around the most seemingly disparate samples. Combative rumbles of percussion run circles around his distorted vocals and seem almost martial in their precision. Wise Blood’s upcoming LP id is due out on June 25th via Dovecote Records. Listen to “Universe Is Blessed” below.
