Lipphead - From the Back (LP - Black)
Lipphead is a production duo consisting of veteran producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp creating eclectic instrumental hip hop that dances effortlessly between Blockhead's sample-based beats and Lipp's evolving synth-laden swing. Illustrated by artist Maddison Chaffer, the titular character serves as the group's mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the artist’s fused styles. In 2022, the pair released their debut LP In the Nude via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls to critical acclaim.
Building on that success, Lipphead returned in 2023 with 10 new tracks for the follow up album From the Back. Kicking off the rollout was the irresistible disco soul of “Midnight Brain to Georgia,” the duo hit the ground running. The second single “Unisax Romper” effortlessly guided listeners through a showcase of fluttering flute samples, jittery synthesizer flourishes, and a bassline that is sure to please even the most selective funk enthusiasts.
Throughout From The Back, fans can enjoy an even groovier spin on their genre-blending mix of downtempo, hip-hop, and electro-funk, along with a healthy dose of the duo’s trademark sense of humor.
Reflecting on the album, Lipp states that “Lipphead really starts to perfect their stylistic fusion on this record. Plenty of oddball beats and goofy samples, but this time there’s an upbeat funk vibe throughout. From The Back is basically a window to what goes on in Lipphead’s wild-ass brain.”
Counting BBC Radio, Thissongissick, Scratched Vinyl, and Music Shelf with Mustard as supporters, there’s no denying that Lipphead is quickly cementing its place as one of the most exciting new underground electronic acts.
