Here we have from the 20th EP from Woodbridge, Virginia recording artist & producer Harto Falión. Originally known as Trip Dixon, he would later make a bigger name for himself after joining the Surf Gang totaling his discography to 3 albums along with 3 mixtapes & 19 solo EPs in addition to Hall00 Hart’s eponymous debut. He’s been locking in with Evilgiane as of late, continuing the acclaim of im_my_best_friend & .BloOdY-gEeKeR* by putting out The Hurtless.
“Dreams turned Nightmares” is this cloudy intro feeling like he’s in the middle of a nightmare most of the time whereas the guitar-trap fusion “Don’t believe ‘em” talks about turning the horrors in his head into a musical. “Unloveable” brushes off any time he has for the bullshit & referring to love as a drug over a plugg instrumental, but then “Keep! Out!” co-produced by Harrison psychedelically likens life to a Ferris wheel asking to be left alone.
Harto discusses getting his hands dirty being the only way he’s feeling everything on the chaotic “pH” & after an intermission, “i really don’t give a fuhck” goes for a woozier vibe talking about giving 0 fucks whatsoever. “Like Lain” has a cloudy drill tone to it airing out those who falsely claim they real just before “Life’s Corny” talks about the world as we know it today going to shit.
“Different places still feel familiar” discusses walking on the sky until I space out, everything still feeling the same to him everywhere he goes & taking his own route as opposed to going the fast lane like everyone else while “Long story short.” completes The Hurtless by getting stupid high, feeling departed as of recently & being unable to sit still since the nights are getting longer the way he’s seeing it.
The Surf Gang has been constantly elevating Trip for the past 4 years now & The Hurtless could be my new favorite of the 8 projects they’ve done with each other. Evilgiane steps out of his comfort zone expanding his sound from cloud rap to plugg, experimental hip hop, drum & bass, indietronica and emo rap on top of Harto keeping up elevating his pen-game.
Score: 4.5/5
