Triangle First: Hear FFFOOLERY’s Funky “$Death” Before Raleighwood Drops This Friday

Triangle First is the INDY’s new, recurring spotlight on local track premieres.

Kooley High producer Thomas Kevin, aka FFFOOLERY, says he didn’t turn his computer on for a year after moving back to Raleigh from Brooklyn and buying a polyphonic synthesizer. The result of that immersion is evident in the juicy live-hardware jams found on his new instrumental hip-hop record, Raleighwood, dropping this Friday on Baddie Recordings.

Kevin hosts a listening party for the album at Neptunes Parlour on Saturday, February 23, at 7:30 p.m. In the meantime, check out our premiere of “$Death,” a filthy filter-bass groove topped with a G-funk synth melody, and read our review of Raleighwood in Wednesday’s issue.
