Review by Tegar Fransida

Catcher Of The Fade: A Sonic Puzzle Worth Solving Man, Catcher Of The Fade is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s not the kind of record you just throw on for background noise—it demands your attention. Released back in 2015 by some seriously talented minds (shoutout to Kenny Segal and Busdriver), this US-born project blends hip hop with electronic vibes so seamlessly it feels like they invented their own genre. And honestly? That’s kinda what happened here. The album leans into styles like conscious rap and abstract beats, which means it's less about catchy hooks and more about making you think—or at least feel something weirdly profound while nodding your head. Let me tell ya, there are moments where it feels like the music itself is catching you off guard, pulling you deeper into its world. Take "One Of Mine", for example. This track hit me right in the gut. The beat has this haunting quality, almost like a ghost walking through an empty hallway. But then the lyrics come in, sharp and cutting, talking about identity, ownership, and how we define ourselves. I couldn’t stop replaying it because every time, I noticed something new—a little drum tweak, a faint vocal layer—that made the whole thing richer. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after the last note fades. And then there’s "Dash." Oh man, this one’s wild. From the first second, it throws you into this chaotic swirl of fast-paced rhymes and glitchy production. It’s messy but intentional, like someone took apart a clock and put it back together wrong on purpose just to see if it still works. Spoiler alert: it does. What gets me most is how the energy never lets up—it’s frenetic, sure, but also hypnotic. By the end, I was outta breath, like I’d been running alongside the beat trying to keep up. What really seals the deal for me is the team behind this masterpiece. Kenny Segal didn’t just engineer and executive-produce; he poured his soul into this thing. You can hear it. Same goes for Busdriver, whose vision shapes the entire vibe. Even the mastering by Steve Nalepa gives the tracks this crispness that makes everything pop without losing that raw edge. But let’s be real—this isn’t an album for everyone. If you’re looking for radio-friendly bangers, you might bounce quick. But if you’re down to sit with something challenging, something that makes you question what music can even do, then Catcher Of The Fade will slap you upside the head in the best way possible. Here’s the kicker though: listening to this album felt like reading someone’s diary from the future. Like, these artists weren’t just making music—they were predicting how messed up and beautiful life could get. Weird flex, but now I kinda wanna thank them for it.
