Butter is the debut studio album by Hudson Mohawke, the alias of Scottish musician Ross Birchard.[1] It was released on Warp Records on 26 October 2009,[2] to positive reviews from critics.[3]

Background

In 2009, Hudson Mohawke signed to Warp Records, despite a very limited track record of official releases; in fact, the bulk of his releases were unofficial tracks and DJ mixes circulated on the Internet, as well as his 2006 Hudson's Heeters mixtape.[4] Butter is his debut album and second release on Warp following the 2008 Polyfolk Dance EP.[5] The album’s artwork was designed by Birchard’s friend Tom Scholefield (a.k.a. Konx-Om-Pax), with both working from a folder of influences they wanted to incorporate,[6] including "the '80s t-shirts Ross and Dom [Flannigan] liked with wolves and bad airbrush animal art."[7] The album features collaborations with Dâm-Funk, Nadsroic, and Olivier Daysoul, the latter an American singer who contributes to two tracks.[8]

Birchard described his recording setup as "very simple," explaining "I’m more interested in the equipment being usable and immediate, rather than spending loads of time tweaking things."[7] Most of the album was made in the audio program FruityLoops using free plug-ins.[7] Mohawke also used hardware such as an Ensoniq VFX and Roland W30 "for lots of vintage dancey sounds" as well as a Korg M50, and sampled his own MIDI programming.[8] He premiered the material at LA's Low End Theory, where it was received positively,[8] although some feedback from the more purist hip-hop DJs was less positive.[7]

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Butter received an average score of 80, based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]

AllMusic called it "A fearless scrap heap mutation that incorporates icebox IDM crunch, DayGlo synthesizer funk and, most notably, late-'80s/early-'90s R&B flourishes."[9] AJ Ramirez of PopMatters gave the album 8 stars out of 10, commenting that "While ButterШаблон:'s fascination with chaotic beats and sonic experimentalism fit right into the Warp aesthetic, the album is remarkably accessible, liable to inspire head-bobbing motions of approval."[1] The Guardian wrote that "listening to Butter can feel like eavesdropping on the future," adding that "It's like eating candyfloss and helium on a speeding rollercoaster: exhilarating and discombobulating in equal measure."[10]

In retrospect, DJ Jake Jenkins called the album "one of the most iconic releases in the LET / beat-scene paradigm. There is a peculiar technicolour to the album that was unlike the other instrumental hip-hop coming out of LA at the time."[7] Birchard stated that within five or six years of release, he began hearing about the influence of the album on other artists, but "what I was doing was just doing shit for fun basically and wearing the influences of it on my sleeve, and it wasn’t done with the intention of anything else [...] If I was going to do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same."[7] In 2020, Clash named it among the 20 best Scottish albums of the 21st century.[11]
