«Son of a multi-instrumentalist whom played in New Orleans Jazz/Blues bands, Desmond Hollins started making music in 2001. This Minnesota citizen’s music is being put out under a couple of different monikers. Katrah Quey is more hip hop oriented, Ceptual and Palet more ambient and now test tube releases a record from his new alias, A Sankip Hummad, which reveals some of Desmond’s electronic influences (Arovane, Jan Jelinek, Boards of Canada) and a subtle reference to what people like Prefuse 73, RJD2 or even El-P did to hip hop.
‘Lamiales’ is a sum of his influences, with lots of drowned beats hanging around in a mutant ambience that it’s mostly warm but sometimes everything floats in a mixed scenario surprisingly shadowy and colder, in songs like ‘Inague’ and ‘Sapping Dust for Tyme’. ‘Ysopp’ and ‘Hazel Intentions’ share the world with Boards of Canada in a subtle and gentle way. In the other hand ‘Caltrop’ reveals some of Desmond’s hip hop influences with a handful of cool slowed motion beats.
This first release by A Sankip Hummad is one that will make a good company this winter. It’ll detach you from the cold outside and, most likely, from the rest of the world too.» - André Santos |

Reviews:
«L'Américain Desmond Hollins aka A Sankip Hummad présente un album aux riches influences, aux rythmiques un peu glitch, un peu ship mais captivantes ; aux ambiances plutôt sautillantes (pas violentes non plus). J'ai trouvé la pochette (branchages sous la neige) peu en adéquation avec la musique, mais bon... Ce n'est pas là l'essentiel tout de même. Ou alors, c'est une fin d'hiver et c'est l'arrivée du printemps. Après une première écoute, A Sankip Hummad m'a fait penser à Plaid ou encore Boards of Canada, en moins précis concernant le traitement des sonorités néanmoins.»
