British record producer Moth Equals has given birth to an intoxicating, open-minded album here. At 14 tracks long, this 2014 release known 'round liquid forests as Sick Puppy does more than attract the listeners' attention through its densely layered nature and multifaceted production style. While rooted in a trip hop sound, the offering also makes way for other musical directions like dubstep ("Plaything"), downtempo ("Childish Things"), and even bearing something of a Bollywood flavor (see "Accha"). So yeah, it's a diverse album in terms of composition, yet not too varied that it loses focus halfway through either. In any case, you'd be a damn ass fool to skip out on what Moth delivers during Sick Puppy's runtime; pretty much every track comprising the LP features little things one won't be able to catch on first listen alone. Extraordinary.
