The Intergalactic Slapstick is the second album from Liquid Stranger, a prolific artist who has honed and developed his signature sound since the release of his debut The Invisible Conquest (Interchill 2007). Leading with the bass as always, the Stranger's latest foray touches upon familiar territory explored in his previous album while moving significantly into heavier dubstep and reggae influenced grooves.
With a wide range of
tantalizing basslines and a solid selection of percussive arrangements
in his arsenal, Liquid Stranger has melded together a dubtronica opus
that is both rich in texture and large in sound. Vocals play a major
role in The Intergalactic Slapstick, with standout contributions from
the likes of Brother Culture, Deeyah and Warrior Queen. The result is a
highly engaging album where each track has impact and is distinct from
the others, offering a welcome departure for both the label and
listener alike.
