In an oversaturated industry, where followers seem to outnumber leaders by the thousands, it’s hard to find your own lane. But it’s for that ability in particular that we here at Bowties have faith in Theophilus. This summer’s This Charming Mixtape caught our attention for a few reasons. For me, the Elvis Costello cover had something to do with it, but the eclectic mix of tracks sampling or reworking everyone from Lauryn Hill to Kraftwerk didn’t hurt either. Dope shit point blank. “Humdrum Town”, featured only briefly on TCM, dropped as a single this week on Green Label Sound. For free 99. W&B salute, Theoph I see you.
