BLOCKHEAD – Interludes After Midnight (2022 Repress) – 2LP – 180g Opaque Purple Vinyl

2LP – Limited Edition180g Opaque Purple

Interludes after Midnight is Blockhead‘sfifth album, another collection of eclectic songs that twist, turn, and grind their way into the listener’s psyche.

While the title Interludes after Midnight might recall a film from the likes of Truffaut or a sprawling masterpiece by Modigliani, the title comes to us from a decidedly less classical source – an afterhours New York city public access show that ran throughout the 80s and early 90s. This was a time before cellphones, tivo, and the internet, a simpler time that has informed the sonic landscape of the album. This is not rehashing 20 years of popular hip hop; this is Blockhead’s ultimate homage to the times and places that defined his upbringing.
