About: Potion Shop is a pop record but embraces everything from ethereal folk to esoteric rhymes, from sunburnt soul to lysergic lullabies, all the while showcasing Hamilton’s A. Hutchie (aka Aaron Hutchinson) and his distinctive and decidedly psychedelic arrangements. One may know Hutchinson as a member of Haolin Munk, Eschaton or as one of the founders of celebrated venue/label HAVN. He has also collaborated with the likes of Lea Bertucci, JFM, Ellis, Zoon, and YlangYlang. Here, his crisp wind arrangements crawl forth from thick synth haze, as 808 drums rain down on choruses of birds, and muffled pianos meander past distended, muck-encrusted drum samples. It’s also a vehicle for songs courtesy of a diverse cast of guests, variously featuring Hamiltonian vocal protagonists Sarah Good and Benita Whyte of Persons Crew, Doom Squad’s Allie Blumas, pre-eminent MC Emay, Kirk Starkey of classical fusionists Quarteto Gelato, and countless others.
