Grieves

newbreak — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:57:21 -0700

clever lyricist moving toward hand made hip hop rather than sampled - with a rich smokey vocal style that deceives his appearance (he looks like a punk ass kid)

Analog electronic practitioner Tobacco uses whacked out synths & beats that are easy to label psychedelic. But much more, it's mad nasty funk. Here's two downloads: Dirt featuring Aesop Rock and Truck Sweat.

I was beginning to doubt it, but creativity is surely alive and well! Highly experimental, but deliciously accessible, Deerhoof is hitting their stride with the new release Offend Maggie. If you know them, you'll notice a richer more folksy vein and Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals, as playful as ever, seem that much refined. Here's an assortment of downloads & streams both new and old.
