If you’ve listened to anything by Diamond Watch Wrists, Savath Y Savalas, Piano Overlord, Delarosa and Asora, or Prefuse 73, then you have drunk from the deep musical well of Guillermo Scott Herren. The prolific musician, who currently bounces between residences in Barcelona, New York, and his hometown of Atlanta, GA, cut his musical teeth producing tracks for rappers in the Dirty South before crafting his first album, Sleep Method Suite, under the Delarosa and Asora alias in 1997. Since then, he has released numerous albums and singles, dabbling in punk rock, electronic music, and psychedelia, in addition to experimental hip-hop.

This year, Herren is going above and beyond his past production output by releasing three unique albums in a cycle under various monikers: La Llama, under his Savath y Savalas guise, Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian, as Prefuse 73, and a Diamond Wrist Watch Wrists project, Ice Capped At Both Ends. Three’s a charm, and here’s a little bit about each release.

Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian is out on April 14 on Warp. On this album, Herren recorded to analog Ampex tape, giving the sound an ancient quality not possible to achieve with digital recording. Those eager to put their ears on Herren’s creative offerings can also look forward to guest appearances by fellow Savath Y Savalas member (and co-producer) Robert Carlos Lange, School of Seven Bells’ vocalist Claudia Deheza, drummer Zach Hill, Dimitri Grimm, and Gaslamp Killer.
