Geez, Moses Boyd is really good!

'Dark Matter' is debut solo LP by UK jazz drummer Moses Boyd, a modern, groovy-jazz album, rich with sound and easy to listen to. Brooklyn Vegan likes how it overcomes boundaries: "'Dark Matter' completely breaks down lines between genres. It’s jazz, it’s hip hop, it’s soul, it’s psychedelia - it’s a lot of things, and whatever subgenre you wanna call it, it’s a grooving, entrancing record that hooks you in from the start and ends way too soon". Guardian praises Boyd as "a skilled producer, artfully splicing warm acoustic tones with tempestuous electronic samples", and Clash magazine says it’s "astonishing how many clever ideas Boyd manages to spin into earworms - the album is literally dripping with them". Treble compares Boyd to Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Joe Armon-Jones, Theon Cross and Binker Golding
