"Hidden," the third album from Richard Youngs—a legendary figure in the avant-garde underground folk scene in Glasgow, UK, whose very existence seems to reach a realm of the divine—has been released on Black Truffle!! I highly recommend it.

Featuring fast, random, hypnotic arpeggios generated by the Moog Grandmother, shakers, synthetic handclaps, random accents with a foghorn-like timbre, and resonant “HA HO” vocalizations—this track evokes the free studio work of Moebius & Plank and Conny Plank, Holger Czukay—or with the free-spirited exploration and experimentation reminiscent of dub, early hip-hop, and proto-techno—filled with the simple joy of creative freedom and sensibility.
Reminiscent of Richard Youngs’ debut solo album *Advent*, Part 1 features electronic synthesizer arpeggios, guitar chords, flute, claps, chimes, and short vocal snippets cut in irregularly—this Manuel Gottsching-esque, floating, minimal groove on Part 2, Side B “Hidden II” (sample 2) is absolutely trippy and wonderful.
