  • Summary: Savath & Savalas is a side project from avant-garde hip-hop producer Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73) that here incorporates elements of post-rock, Latin pop and jazz rhythms, and other world music elements. Aiding him are drummer John Herndon (Tortoise) and vocalist Eva Muns.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 14 out of 18
  2. Negative: 0 out of 18
  1. While it may be the most unfamiliar work of Herren’s discography, it’s still one of the year’s first great albums.
  2. Side projects rarely eclipse their protagonists’ main works, but Apropa’t is one radical departure that finds the players perfectly aligning themselves to each other so convincingly that it’s hard to imagine Herren looking back again.
  3. Towards the end, Herren's love of the glitch tentatively tries to reassert itself, but poetry and seductiveness manage to pacify it for the duration.
  4. 'Apropa't' sounds as organic as a dump and as lush as a drizzly sunset.
