Potatoland - Jerome Hill (Accidental Junior)

 


Title: Potatoland

Artist: Jerome Hill

Label: Accidental Junior

Cat Number: ACJ157

Genre: Minimal House



A1: Quibble

A2: Chicken

B1: Potatoland

B2: Bleeper


Jerome Hill follows up last year’s ‘The Pob Routine’, with this majestic four tracker on Accidental Junior, and gets things going by apeing label boss Matthew Herbert on ‘Quibble’, a jaunty, minimal house track that could have come from the master himself. ‘Chicken’ is very Dance Mania/DJ Deeon. ‘Potatoland’ is a track that was made while Hill was spending time on an organic vegetable farm, and is the result of a collage of samples extracted “in the wild.” Another Herbert approach and one that again, pays big dividends. Finally, ‘Bleeper’ is a loping, uneven groove that manages to remain cohesive in spite of the bleeps being fired across its bows.
