Saturday Sleeper: Diamond Black Hearted Boy - Father, Protect Me



Diamond Black Hearted Boy is the moniker of Chino Amobi, a multi-medium artist from Richmond, Virginia.  See his biography, paintings, and artist statement at his Like the Space Gallery.  Adam Harper describes the March release below:
Father, Protect Me carries the full range of Diamond Black Hearted Boy—wild, surging energy, obsessive sample-scratching and chanting, perturbed meditation and ominous stasis—and all in a fresh hi-fi sound palette of polished chrome. Throughout the curiously compelling work, Amobi hangs at the periphery like a prophet or a fallen God, balefully conjuring dim visions of what a deity might perceive in the present and future.
