Mohican Beats is a long time coming, but it’s finally here. Electric Sea Spider returns for the first time since 2009’s The Theif. Mohican Beats is a beat tape made up of found sounds and samples – spastic, if sloppy, beats. And though ESS is sounding more hip-hop than ever, his ambient roots are still present.
This release features guests Disturbed Individuals and Jamil Kelley, a remix by Gorque, and album art by Cassandra M. Wesley.
Editor’s Note:
With this new release comes an important announcement. Beginning Tuesday, October 26th, Electric Sea Spider’s first two releases, Fear God Fear Satan and In Lucid Dreams will no longer be available for download. After much consideration and with great respect to the artist, these two albums will be retired on that day.
As a courtesy to our listeners, you have one more week to download these releases.

gotta love “sloppy beats”! electric sea spider has a real laid-back style that’s perfect for pretty much any occasion. good stuff. thank you!
Thanks! We really appreciate that. We’re super proud of what Electric Sea Spider has accomplished.
Amazing style, very unique in many ways.
Wow, this is great. Sounds like The Avalanches meets (more) Hip-Hop.
I’ll download it right away.
Simplicity is an exact medium between too little and too much.
