Freddy Mwaura Njau, the Nairobi-born artist known as Slikback, makes his full-length debut on the esteemed Planet Mu label with Attrition. Composed while waiting on a visa in his adopted home of Poland, the eleven-track album represents a more deliberate and patient creative process than his famously prolific output — and the results speak for themselves. The extra time spent crafting these tracks reveals just how densely layered and surgically designed Slikback's electronic aesthetic can truly be.
Attrition is a masterclass in sound design, with the music growing progressively darker, faster, and more unpredictable as it unfolds. Standout moments like "Duality" showcase frosty, synth-driven melodies woven together with intricate electronics and a meandering Reese bassline, demonstrating the depth and vision that set this record apart. Pressed in Germany and released on Planet Mu, this is a bold and fully realized statement from one of electronic music's most compelling voices.
