In Depth by Gideon Brody
Befitting an odyssey that is unencumbered by pretty much anything, Sufi doesn't lean on any particular genre for very long. Despite its loner, stoner aesthetic and its loosely-strung SoCal hip hop framework, Sufi holds out its callused and nail-bitten, tar-stained hands in an embrace that can't possibly exclude. This is a record that defies compartmentalisation, and spends its near hour-long length defying expectation. What you think will come next, invariably doesn't. But what does come next invariably feels right; like Ecks set out to make the most incoherently coherent record he could.. and succeeded.»

In Depth by Dom Gourlay
Over the past few years, DiS has used the annual year-end 'listing season' to highlight a few of our writers favourite records that for one reason or another, slipped through the cracks and failed to garner the attention they deserved. In these increasingly fractious times, where amid a deluge of opinion consensus is hard-veering-on-impossible to find, records are increasingly lost but over the course of this week, ahead of next week's 50 albums of the year listageddon, DiS will be highlighting 10 records from 10 of our staff, in the hope that they finally find a place in a record collection or two...
