Few artists embody the home-brewed pop spirit quite like
@_riddle_m_ . Over the last few years, Harrison Riddle has carved out a universe of his own built on lo-fi psychedelia, tape-warped surrealism, and an unfiltered sense of imagination. Now based in Chicago and surrounded by likeminded peers (e.g. Alga, Sharp Pins, Answering Machines), Harrison’s fragmentary pop wonders stretch wider than they first appear. Wherever you start, whether it’s Aurora or his latest album Lo Stereo, you’ll find yourself tumbling down a rabbit hole of off-kilter melody and pure-hearted experimentation, à la Gary Wilson, Bobb Trimble, and Julian Leal. For all the bedroom roughness, Riddle M’s sense of melody never wavers. His songs drift and dart by with the handmade grace of a paper kite. Street-level hums from a one-man band extraordinaire, left in obscurity. Let’s hope R. Stevie Moore returns his calls.
