#1509 Girl Talk and Freeway - Broken Ankles EP

Never did check out Gillis's its-about-time foray into rap production.

He's got great restraint here, lets the samples ride; production knows its role. He makes his presence known, but it's subtle, adding emotional backbone and unexpected structure to the tracks, with shades of the best tracks on Ratatat's Remixes Vol. 2. Freeway's rapping hits hard in classic bang-bang East coast style, but its that quietly snaky production that grabs and holds attention 4/5
