Igor

Tyler The Creator’s Igor is his fifth album and is a record about love and love lost, but Tyler conveys it as much through the warm synths and ‘70s soul drums as he does words. It’s a highly textural album that never gets obsessed with its own feel. Tyler imbues the work with just enough of an edge to let the rhythms and progressions work on their own, using these various voices as extra tools, garnishment upon the broken beats and melodies searching for a bit of sunlight on a cloudy day.
