ommood\u2019s nonconformist persona is looming behind the glowing shade of his melancholic music.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Back again in full effect with your favourite column, this time we decided to travel far, making a beeline straight to the East, behind the comfortable shores of Anglo-centric Hip Hop. Ommood<\/strong> has been by far the dopest new discovery on my journey into crate-digging<\/a>, loop-cutting, and jazzy-oriented beat chisellers.<\/p>\n

Producer Paul McLay, known to the world as ommood<\/strong>, has Scottish and Armenian roots, has lived in India for almost a decade, and his artistic parable has been\u2026well, let\u2019s say bizarre. Probably, also the most unorthodox we have seen here in a long time. He suddenly materialized as a meteor with a beautifully done, atmospheric, refined album, inlaid with delicate jazzy moments, that not only leaves you wantin\u2019 for more but keeps that feeling there even after.<\/p>\n

Legend says that his first, homonymous, album, published through the guys at S!X Music<\/strong><\/a>, has been composed and recorded in Bodh Gaya, in the east of India, the same place of Buddha’s enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Little do we know about how he took inspiration from the place and the journey he was doing (om!), but what came out was melancholic, elliptic, dotted with brass coming out from the mellow melodies, exuding elegance at every turn.<\/p>\n
