London producer Rob McAndrews who goes by the name Airhead and his ...
abstract compositions are reminiscent of James Blake’s early work, and the comparison runs more than skin-deep: before the former even released a single solo track to his name, the pair put out a solid 10” single “Pembroke” in 2010 on Brainmath. Airhead has largely flown under the radar since. He followed up with the gorgeous “Paper Street” later that year, backed with an equally lovely Nick Höppner version. Signing to R&S Records seems to be one of the main affirmations of a breakthrough producer these days, and so it was no great surprise when it was announced earlier this year that he would release “Wait / South Congress” as a 10” single through the label, with a debut album to follow later in 2012.
