IHF - Stay

 
 

We’ve been an IHF follower since the Imagined Herbal Flower Floating EP days. He emerged at an interesting time - where the electronic genre was at a sort of inflection point, looking inward at itself trying to determine where to go next. And what manifested from that inevitable growing phase was the arrival of a few like-minded artists (IHF, Catching Flies, Mishegas, Edapollo) that were fixated on creating ethereal soundscapes from mostly instrumental templates. You could even say that, from there, the genre evolved further, where producers like xander. and No Spirit doubled down on their predecessors’ philosophy. IHF’s been refining his sound since those debut EP days, and his newest single “Stay” perfectly embodies his current sonic mindset. And while he’s now been around long enough to see himself become an influence on other artists, that doesn’t mean that he’s done taking notes out of other producer’s playbooks. We’re making a pretty confident guess based on “Stay” that Caribou’s extensive catalog is one that IHF, AKA, DC-based producer Ben Gorvine, has made his way through a few times over. And if history serves as an indicator, then we should be expecting another excellent LP from IHF in the coming months.
