Hieroglyphic Being – The Disco's Of Imhotep

Think of Hieroglyphic Being's productions as hieroglyphs themselves, and you'll get the idea. The alias of American sound artist and experimental composer Jamal Moss, Hieroglyphic Being's latest full-length takes nine enigmatic, sensory tracks and stitches them together to create a language of deeply cerebral electronic music. 

Whilst staying true to the spirit of Chicago house, the prolific Moss (who records under a range of aliases beides this one) has crafted a self-contained album that probes the limits of the genre, while simultaneously being danceable as hell. From the breezy, beatless intro track The Shrine Of Serpent Goddess, through the midway heft of tunes like Heru and Crocodile Skin, to the upbeat, ambient house groove of the title track, the progression feels intuitive and seamless.

Where previous releases under the moniker have explored the grittier, DIY side of house, here Moss leans towards the lush, psychedelic end of the spectrum, and delivers a kaleidoscopic sonic journey that commands you to keep going back.
