What We're Listening to: Teebs "Ardour"
Ardour is the debut album by long time running My Hollow Drum, Dublab, and recent Brainfeeder artist, Teebs. Born in New York to Malawi and Barbados origins, Mtendere (pronounced “ ten- de-ra” ) (Chichewa for “ Peace” ) Mandowa, is a 23 year-old producer who has bounced around the East Coast before finally planting his feet in the Southern California suburb of Chino Hills.
"There's something about Ardour that makes it feel like it has no manmade origin. Think of a building that's been left unattended for 100 years, and all of the foliage that pushes up through it and engulfs its crumbling foundations. For all the artisanal care that went into this album's creation, it sounds like decaying beats being split apart by deceptively fragile yet resilient melodies, post-hip-hop production as a simulation of nature reclaiming concrete" - Pitchfork
