  • Crossover 
  • Downbeat 

Comment: undoubtedly it is very problematic to categorize this issue. Furthermore, after the first round of listening I did have problems to identify it somehow because of having so many stylistic references within it, and because of changing permanently throughout the course. I guess the most proper tags to pigeonhole it might be such generic tags as electronic music, and experimental music, improvised music. By listening to such a track as Unfortunate the case will be even more complicated because the beat represented over there can ideologically be considered a thread from hip-hop music but in reality it is more a downbeat case. Walkwalk is an example of psyched-out electro-free jazz. It is not surprising at all with regard to the fact he comes out of Chicago, Illinois, USA which has been a fertile platform for amalgamation and flourishing of different styles, from improvised music, post-rock, to free jazz. The issue is a bit in the discography of Etched Traumas.
