Hectic Zeniths – “Type One Era” EP (Audio)
Surprised that we’re hearing of Hectic Zeniths now! Hectic Zeniths is a anagram of the German word Zeitschichten, which aptly means “layers of time,” which the creator, Adam Prince has taken on as his moniker. Moonlighting as a high school math teacher by day in Philadelphia, the Brooklyn, New York native released his debut self-entitled LP Hectic Zenith in January 2012, which was a sojourner of instrumentals fusing hip hop and electronic sounds, laden with piano. Now with his second release Type One Era on Buddha Tapes, Prince continues with exploring live instrumentation with vinyl samples, acoustic guitar, and more atmospheric sounds. The downtempo title track featuring Eric Lindley’s (Careful) infectious pitch-shifting vocals are like two lovers whispering in song in a call to respond. Rapper Sketch Lightly provides an alternative version to “Beau Geste” by being inspired by the world about him, particularly the beauty in sky. Spend a little time on Hectic Zeniths’s Bandcamp to get acquainted with his cinematic sounds; you’ll enjoy the ride.
