This album was delivered to Ubiquity HQ on a
beaten-up iPod, which was wrapped in what looked like ancient scroll,
but turned out to be two paintings of Hopkins by Spanish artist Thabeat
Valera. One painting is the album cover, and the other will feature in
the booklet. The iPod included all of the album tracks, plus a reading
of the story behind the recording, repeated in 10 different
languages.
It’s the most varied Hopkins album to date encompassing lots of vocal textures, and a dash of worldly vibes. Check the Brazilian-psyche-like “No Contact…Contact,” and the mad spooky science of “Miles Chillin,” or the shuffling “Thinkin’ of Eva” which would sound perfectly at home playing in a Parisian café. It’s an album influenced by Hopkins time in jail, where, while in the courtyard, he met many international prisoners waiting to be deported. Lo-fi, acoustic, finger- snapping, hand-clapping, whistle-and-hummed jam sessions gave Hopkins the ideas which he later put to tape. The album booklet will include the entire story, unfiltered.
