Suicideyear aka James Prudhomme hails from Baton Rouge Louisiana and his music is very much a product of his environment - the menacing sound of tuned 808 drums coupled with angst-ridden emotive synth work inspired by listening to shoegaze and punk bands throughout his formative teenage years. Hate Songs sees him continue to expand his futurist hip-hop production with a record of heavy beats and moody atmospheric synth sounds.
