OK, boys and girls, just two quick albums that are worthy of your attention. In the process of going through some albums that are 'growers', so i'll write about them shortly... out!
Kylesa - Static Tensions
Remember that kid at school that used to liked Black Sabbath, always smelt of weed and loved drawing violent cartoons on his arms. Well that kid grew up and started a band called Kylesa - a progressive sludgey stoner RAWKin' metal band that loves the dusty desert riff. Think, Queens of the Stone Age, just wasted on mushrooms and on the verge of a psychotic episode. The production is as dirty as it gets and simply demands to be played while speeding in a car. In fact, this is your new car music... now go wrap that muscle car round a pole!
Filastine - Dirty Bomb
This is not new. In fact, when it was released in January it slipped under most peoples noses. It's music from the not to distant future. Equal parts dub-step, hip hop, cut and paste and breakcore all wrapped up with a world music slant. If you want proof of how inventive music can be, then this demands your attention. This is a truly mesmerizing talent, and what i love is this albums sounds like only a peak into the genius to come. If you want to know what global urban music sounds like, give this a few spins.
