Neotropic: White Rabbits

This is the first ever full digital release for the classic 4th Neotropic album – a landmark in the evolution of her sound.

For this first post-Ninja Tune LP, Riz Maslen travelled to Minneapolis to work with some of its best underground indie musicians.

Blending electronica and live instrumentation into a highly evocative, cinematic mix, is both a great ensemble piece and an extraordinary, intimately personal statement.

Functioning as both producer and a kind of performing musical director, draws on Maslen's multi-instrumentalist skills across flute, guitar, bass, drums, percussion and keyboards, as well as her expertise in the studio.

Initially recording with collaborators including JG Everest, Madigan Shive and Ollo, the tapes were brought back to London to be manipulated and reconstructed into the organic, almost post-rock soundscapes that are the final tracks.

The result is an album that carves its own space somewhere between electronica, post-rock, folk and ambient. Freeform, fluid and experimental over a full 61 minutes 30 seconds, this is not an album to get to grips with on first listen, but one from which repeated listens reveal more and more.

As we begin to fill in more of the gaps in Riz Maslen's online discography, our hope is that the development of her unique and important aesthetic will be more easily traceable through what is an extraordinary (and still growing) body of work.
