NY-based musician and producer The Range is getting set to release his Potential LP on March 25th via Domino. The upcoming effort finds James Hinton exploring his love for early UK grime and electronica, and it joins his dynamic compositions with emcees he discovered while exploring off-the-beaten path on YouTube. “Five Four” features the London-based grime vocalists Ophqi and Super Thought, who also star in this video for the track directed by Daniel Kaufman. Appearing as ambassadors, Ophqi and Super Thought led us on an intimate tour through their neighborhood, giving us a glimpse into the everyday realities that inform their lyrics. Look for Kaufman to also direct a documentary entitled Superimpose, featuring the pair, as well as other vocalists who appear on Potential. In addition, The Range will play a handful of live dates beginning this coming March. You can check them out here…
