Praise for ILLVMINATE:

“Texture is rare as an artist in that his political and social commentary is not just entertaining, but also horrifically coherent.”
DARREN LOKI MCGARVEY, ORWELL PRIZE WINNER

“Texture has never felt so comfortable and at home as he does in the discomfort and unease of Asthmatic Astronaut’s music... his ever-expansive vocabulary connects in the space of this record like constellation lines between dying stars. Post-colonial Celtic future dystopia reflecting the distortions and fractures of the now.”
SOLAREYE, STANLEY ODD

“Texture’s best work yet. Articulate, nihilistic cyberpunk lyrics... Asthmatic Astronaut has also levelled up alongside him to provide his best soundtrack yet... There is an almost telepathic partnership in place.”
MARK MCG, YOU CALL THAT RADIO / GIROBABIES

"Serious contender for best hip-hop album to come out of Scotland in 2021." JASON SMALL, SMALL MUSIC SCENE

“Huge production and sharp, fierce lyricism..”
DELAINA SEPKO, SUNNY GOVAN RADIO

"A tour-de-force from one of Scottish hip hop’s great lyricists, ruminating on the future of capitalist society and artificial intelligence... The best conscious rap album of 2021 so far – few artists in this country are reaching these thematic depths or exploring these concepts, reflecting how so many of us feel about the world and the balance of power."
SANJEEV MANN, HIPHOPSCOTLAND.COM

Texture recommends:

DREAMLESS L.P
by WAV Machine

Breathtaking electronica. As deep as it is huge, this album soars and dives through cold realms as icebergs of bass glide by, while synths echo and loop in the sky like northern lights. Top echelon. Texture

Why It Bothers Me I Can't Sleep
by King Meraki

A chilling and highly personal record from Kid Robotik, announcing his alter ego KING MERAKI while facing down death, addiction, betrayal and transcendence. Absolutely savage. Texture

"Shadow from a black lantern," two chemical poets united in a dystopic soundscape. Here's hoping there is another release coming from this excellent duo with hope for the future. Until then, we can all commiserate about trying to rise above the reality. That is the true resistance, despair resistance. These two achieved it with Black Lantern. So grateful. Oddio Overplay
