and producer: Prefuse 73 aka Guillermo Scott Herren announces his new
album, New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 1 & 2. His first new
album since 2018's Sacrifices, New Strategies for Modern Crime sees
Herren delving further into his ground breaking take on experimental
hip-hop through orchestrated arrangements via the optic of the media's
sensationalism of crime, blended with influences from lost soundtracks,
musique concrete, jazz and beat-tape music to create something wholly
unique.

released his groundbreaking debut album, Vocal Studies + Uprock
Narratives, which immediately garnered attention for its avant-garde
sound. The album skillfully combined glitchy electronic beats, intricate
samples, and fragmented vocals, establishing Prefuse 73 as a
trailblazer in the burgeoning genre of electronic hip-hop.

Word Extinguisher and Surrounded by Silence, showcasing his ability to
seamlessly fuse disparate elements and create his own distinctive style.

signatures, Herren's releases have gone on to influence an entire
generation of electronic musicians.
Throughout his career,

more. His work reflects a constant evolution, with each album offering a
