What I Heard This Morning: Shabazz Palaces
This is a pretty hypnotic track. Sub Pop's Shabazz Palaces is releasing Black Up, which is their debut. Check out the single, "an echo from the hosts that profess infinitum." No extended hook, actual verses, some creative liberties with the backing track... It's pretty much the opposite of what's popular in rap music these days.
They'll be playing the Kung-Fu Necktie in Philadelphia on May 11th for one of their two east coast dates.
