"Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam" showcases Ghostpoet’s loveable ramshackle but hook-laden productions, his lazy baritone and imaginative desolate take on the world - a most impressive statement of intent. Opener "One Twos" is a distorted and warped microphone check which slithers hypnotically into "Run Run Run" which twists and turns, drawing you into the dark and brooding atmosphere that "Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam" is drenched in. The DIY nuances of tracks like "Us Against Whatever Ever" aid in the intimacy one feels with Ghostpoet, as we embark on a voyage into his mind. Minimal beats sinuously glide through "Longing For The Night", right into more intimate affairs like "Survive It". "Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam" is one of the freshest sounding debuts since Tricky’s "Maxinquaye" - it’s as beautifully complex as it is subtle and will command your attention again and again.
