i'm pretty stoked. i think part of it is they don't have so many "discussion points" as OF or lil b

Ha, that reminds me of a conversation I had with a (mostly) former ilxor who was like "With Shabazz Palaces and Odd Future all we need is someone from the Bay for a trifecto of new, weird West Coast rap" and I was like "Duuuuuuuuude."

I preordered the vinyl. Looks like if you want to get the patch to go with the first 2, you'll need to preorder.

This album is seriously good.
― Number None, Monday, 25 April 2011 14:32 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah great album. "recollections of the wraith" is my shit.

my god the beat on "Swerve" is like the best thing that has ever happened to me.

dont know why the thread title is about seattle tho - hes from NY

He had parents in both cities, he lives in Seattle now.
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 28 June 2011 11:44 (twelve years ago) link
hope that just cos hes on sub pop people dont automatically dismiss it as 'rap for white indie kids'
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 11:54 (twelve years ago) link
He's not from NY. He's from Seattle, went to NY for college and formed DP while he was there, then came back after DP broke up.

Broken record here, but Blowout Comb is a great album.

the nights are getting stronger and the days are getting longerthe building's getting bigger, outside is getting smallerthe lies are getting truer and the truth is getting brightthings are looking blacker but black is looking whiter
^ sounds soso much like digable planets, esp the way most of the music drops out for the last line. alternate universe "cool like that".

i think the vinyl comes in some sort of felt sleeve!
Anyone notice that he covers the Last Poets' "Black Is" for a second time? (It was also on the first DPs album.)

preorders come with a patch designed by Ish:

free SP show at easy street queen anne (seattle) this evening, as a sort of record release non-party thing
album requires that i engage my low filter ;_;
plan to steal the patch from an unwary child

so, uh, what's the line right before the first "upwards or don't toss it at all" on free press and curl. that's my favorite musical moment, and it is just a moment. "god means come price arsenal?" probably not :\
― And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
I think it's "gun beats comprise arsenal"

see, that makes some sense

this sort of "second" career/crit revival is sort of.... unusual? especially for hip hop. Kool keith being maybe the only other example I can think of

40 and Quik never really stopped/changed they just kept cranking shit out under the radar. But Butler's been through three iterations/name changes without being particularly prolific.

this album doesnt make as much sense in headphones as it does on a good system
you really need to play it loud or just on speakers
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
dunno about headphones, but it sounds MASSIVE coming through 4 big speakers

like how "a treatease dedicated to the avian airess..." kind of flirts with "i'll take you there" (and namedrops "where i'm from")

― these goons were made for waka (The Reverend), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
hey rev, missed u at easy street but did go out. solid crowd! boring though. not the show, the crowd, no one dancing or anything. felt like the music wasn't really connecting due to apathy, but did like it. bought the LP and got a patch, which i will likely put in a box and never see again.
