Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy | 90s Album Review
A groundbreaking fusion of drum and bass, jazz, and experimental electronic music, the 1997 album Hard Normal Daddy by Squarepusher showcases Tom Jenkinson’s virtuosic bass playing and intricate programming. Blending frenetic breakbeats with lush, jazz-inspired melodies, tracks like “Coopers World” and “Beep Street” highlight his unique ability to balance chaos and groove, creating an experience that’s both cerebral and rhythmically infectious. Dense and detailed production reward repeated listens revealing new textures and layers bold, resulting in a genre-defying record that pushed the boundaries of IDM at the time.
