Despite the album's runtime, Guud is not that easy of a record to sit through. It can be argued that the full-length offering's very nature isn't for the faint of heart, and it also isn't recommended for people whose minds tend to wander endlessly. Iranian multi-instrumentalist and record producer Ashkan Kooshanejad's debut LP explores a variety of textures and sometimes even moods whilst being grounded in the electronic music genre, to the point of infrequently losing focus. Be that as it may, however, Guud is a pretty solid album that's certain to grow on whoever might be checking it out initially come later listens.

At times it'll keep a sensible beat, deformed voice snippets can haphazardly form some semblance of melody. But principally this is an abstract blob of bizarro-space-synth wonder, satisfying squishes, disturbingly deep bass, and course sounds for sounds-sake: dog barks, reverse chatter, car-starts, and lotsa etceteras join hands with high-pitched blips and bloops and bubblies. Sure, its otherworldly chopped-up charisma is enchanting enough -- but so disorienting, too -- yeah, did I mention the entirety of this sounds sped up somehow? Or how the tracks all seamlessly-yet-confusedly mush into each other? It's either disheveled or elaborate or genius or arduous or all of the above.

Really detailed, really well structured and extremely imaginative, but I can't lie, most of the material on here gave me a headache. Still, if you are looking for something far out and otherworldly, give this a spin. This guys talent is undeniable.

| 4.5 superb | HarrySmalldini97 | June 18th 15 |
Favourite electronic album of the year so far. God damn, so creative and textured. Its like a more beat driven album of what Nicolas Jaar has been teasing with his recent EP's. Plus it flows like one composition, which is always a plus
