Kristoff Krane To Play Soundset 2009, Releases New Songs

Kristoff Krane announced earlier in the year that he's due to release two new EPs in the late April/early May, one as himself, and one as ABZORBR, his more atmospheric, but similarily hip-hop alter-ego. Now, Krane has revealed, via MySpace, that he's posted a few new tracks from both EP3, the ABZORBR release that sees the light of the digital-only day on May 23rd, and from his EP as Kristoff Krane, Picking Flowers Next To Road Kill.

The song from Kill, "Leave The Summer," is a sparse number, with an acoustic guitar, and a soft, skipping beat straight out of trip-hop. Krane's flow is a bit reminscent of Lupe Fiasco's. The other tracks, from EP 3, are a little heavier, both musical and lyrically, with Krane experimenting with distorted textures, church organ, and a minimalist, almost dystopian take on hip-hop. Listen to the tracks on his MySpace, then congratulate him on making the Soundset 2009 lineup.
