Griffin The third album by New York-based Griffin rolls into town and is certainly a pert affair. Stripped back, lots of space and spikey percussion is the name of the game here. And, it must be said, coupled with the sometimes rather introspective vocals, it's pretty successful. Occasionally, to dizzying effect. Reverb ahoy sees to the latter. It is, however, not without its flaws. What perhaps holds 'Begriffen' back a tad is that its sound could just possibly be labelled a little dated. Chonky beats, and either vocoder or serious autotune abuse on the vocals was certainly all the rage some time years ago. https://www.isthismusic.com/griffin
