about

Hidden Shoal is proud to announce the re-release of the 2017 album Washington Hebrew by The Caribbean's Michael Kentoff, available for the first time on vinyl. 180 grams of fuschia vinyl at that! Having performed in The Caribbean since 2000 and with no pressing desire to go ‘solo’ or work outside that secure, familiar context, Washington Hebrew acted as both a leap and bridge for Michael Kentoff. Now, we call the record what it is: Michael Kentoff.

Inspired by his use of samples and loops for installations, remixes, and soundtrack projects, Kentoff employed these raw materials to craft new songs akin to the wonderfully skewed and melodic pop of The Caribbean, but with a witchiness all its own.

2017 was dark. Bored and under-stimulated at work, Michael loaded Ableton Live onto his work computer and lost himself in library music samples and his own warped melodies. No billable hours were harmed in the making of this record: it was more a way to lose himself where he wanted to be lost as opposed to where he was languishing lost. A way to work around darkness and despair.

Hidden Shoal invites you to get lost in Michael Kentoff's workaround.

"a woozy dream like fantasia all the time skipping and seducing to craft an amorphous sonic palette that weaves in and out of consciousness to sit somewhere between C Duncan and Andromeda Heights-era Prefab Sprout" – The Sunday Experience

When Kentoff became fascinated with the electronic dance genre footwork, he wondered if he could apply indie-pop songcraft to its cut-up production style. The result is Kentoff’s self-titled solo debut, a satisfying amalgamation of adventurous soundscapes and well-crafted melodies. ... more
