about

Bridging two eras of his production together, Graham Kartna's "Illegal Transmissions Over Boyos, ON" (often shortened to ITOBO) is nothing short of impressive in its scope, testing out more complex arrangements of sound than ever before and knocking them out of the park. Guests appear alongside many of the tracks and promptly make their leave after raising the bar just a little higher for the next visitor, only for the process to repeat.

An almost signature texture of instrumentation exists at the base of it all which many attribute to the breadth of Kartna's work. Present alongside all of these advancements, this tried and true sound helps to give the album a distinct body that is only improved upon by further additions, allowing it to feel more rounded out and fully realized. Many of the new advancements ended up carrying on towards future works as well, leaving ITOBO as a foundation upon which the biggest moments of his work developed from.

The most significant addition of note compared to previous pieces is the vocal work by Kartna and his additional guests. The choice of flow and tone pair perfectly alongside the existing sound, executed in a manner that feels effortlessly casual, an additional flair which helps to fully polish the approach ITOBO lays out in front of itself.

Appreciators of early-web oddity, unrelenting embracers of the tried and true pastime of goofing off, and general ear havers will find themselves enjoying the works contained within, as well as the rest of Kartna's discography.
