Like last year's album from Logos I didn't even know it was somehow comin from grime. I have no emotional investment in grime so it doesn't bother me. I've always thought he was pretty funny I must admit.Īpparently this is connected to grime. One does also wonder how much of this is possibly black humour like when he's asking you to think of mass murderers when you're feeling happy. Although he finally makes a joke on the last track. Benji is an insight into a tragedy strewn life and a morbid mind like no other. The words just pour out of him unfiltered and somehow it works. Who would have thought he could get more morose? Well he has! This is a stunning work of a master songwriter. Less is more, keep it simple and let the words paint the pictures. There are no Johnny Marr-esque guitar licks or 4AD flourishes of sound here. Mark's way more hokey now, getting back to his Ohio roots. Holy shit things have changed since Red House Painters Ocean Beach (well mostly, he is still singing about his mum) ie. An album that plays tricks with your memory.Ģ0 years since I've listened to anything by Mark Kozelek but I couldn't ignore this album's cult groundswell on the interweb. A musical interzone somewhere between idyllic and peculiar. Perhaps their most fully realised LP to date. There's also some slightly noisier dub tech trax in a Basic Channel stylee ( Ataobe once released an EP on the Chain Reaction label). Some of the most enjoyably serene ambient dub tech I've ever heard. This is 2014 rap at it's most buoyant and audacious. Like Speedy Gonzales, the subject in one of their songs, these guys don't mess about. Who'd have thunk a 24 minute recording of a garden gate would be this enjoyable?Ī trip into creepy electronic zones where funny things happen. This is Moon Wiring Club severed from their beats and it's probably the closest sonic equivalent to dropping acid I've ever heard. Hallucinatory, phantasmal and lysergical. Leporine Pleasure Gardens - Moon Wiring Club LP YP's giving Mustard a run for his money and he's just put out a 3rd Volume, bloody hell! Two volumes of choice 2014 ratchet from California's HBK Gang. Cito is on the beat throughout the entire mixtape which was a great move. Who'd have ever thought I'd enjoy something by Mica Levi? The world is a strange place.Ītlanta's one of a kind suave space age rapper makes a sequel better than the original. A bit like Bernard Hermann if he'd had a stroke and was wasted on painkillaz. Futuristic sex, drugs, violence and megalomania!īest soundtrack since _. Louie's a King, a God, a Don and they call him Tony after Tony Soprano. Gangsta tales from Chicago set to mini cinematic synth symphonies. True Detective had nothing on this Louisiana rapper's gritty reality. Lil Boosie gets out of prison and makes a hell of a poignant mixtape about the experience. 80s electro & fucked up 90s rave flavas clash with 2014 Texan Ratchet and 90s creepin Memphis shyt. Underground Tape Cassette Music - Gangsta Boo & Beatkingįucking great collaboration from 666 Mafia's legendary Gangsta Boo and Club Godzilla Beatking. It's party time, are you putting on 10 Summers or $hmopcity? It's a no brainer. Kool John makes the best HBK Gang recording to date.
Bay Area ratchet from the HBK Gang that was all killah no filler. This was the Club God doing his Houston ratchet thang which is the best mix of 10s rap and 90s rave these ears have ever heard. He is the Beat King and he's had a sterling year. From being dirt poor with no electrical, being incarcerated, having children and being signed to major record label Atlantic. King Kev's got the best voice in the game and his flow's incredible. Session Man is almost like stoner jamz but in a Rangers universe. OMG these are guitar albums! Remember them? It's all about past pasts, past presents, past futures and the present present and future past, present and future. Memoredelia! The talented Joe Knight is a star. I thought they'd vanished but praise the lord here they are again twice! This time in snippet and snapshot mode on Reconsider Lounge, a bit like they were on 2010's classic Suburban Tours. trying to be a good dad but being a bad ass gangsta. Oxymoron not only refers to Oxycontin addiction but to the dichotomy of Schoolboy Q's being ie. Killah state of the art sex, drugs and rap 2014 stylee. Nick Edwards reigns in his wayward machines like never before to achieve stunning results. Two classic double LPs in one year! Maybe Four Track Mind just pips Unfidelity at the post but these albums are inseparable as they came from the same recording sessions, I think. More funny shit and mental absurdity ranted by Baron Mordant over some of Nick's most accomplished trax to date.
