Filter Dread - Trickster (2020)

Filter Dread's debut album — written and produced entirely on Hardware — for Coyote Records, following standout releases on Ramp, Codes, Unknown To The Unknown, Corrupt Data and Sneaker Social Club over the last seven years.

A maze of mind-boggling pulses, zaps and cosmic commotion, the album’s looming unease and shadowy tone bleeds into a Coyote discography recently defined by the eternal gloom of Marks’ ‘Endgame’, Shayu’s hyper-futuristic, OG grime inspired ‘All The Way Through’ and Last Japan’s shimmering ode to the stars, ‘LUNA’. From the bit-crunched, 2-step swing of ‘Space Flex’ through to the frantic eski chills of ‘Plug It Up’ and the fraught, all-encompassing perplexity of the title-track, ‘Trickster’ is a record fit for the times.
