named after a dead cat, this Finnish trio have been around for a few years now without releasing an official album. They have recently updated their myspace page to include a new track, “we are cannibals”, which will be featuring on their, as yet unnamed, up and coming album.

They have been compared to CSS for obvious reasons, but if this track is anything to go by, we should be in for a treat. a nice blend of electro,pop, synth, 80′s europop. yes.

Also check out “Bitch of the Bitches” and “Something Golden”.

First ones gotta be a gooden.

Auditorium feat. Slick Rick is my favourite track off the Grammy award nominated Ecstatic. I eagerly awaited this album and was so glad to see a return to form. Mos Def was in danger of becoming one of those awesome rapper/crappy actor types (ice cube) who spew out commercial nonsense albums between commercial nonsense films.

Auditorium is accessible whilst also being undeniably substream. Sick production from Madlib gives it a subtle intensity. A middle eastern vibe and some great lyrics from both Def and Slick make this the stand out track of the album, which also features posthumous production from the great J Dilla.

Once upon a time not long ago, Mos Def became a regular feature in my day-to-day playlist. Fortunately, this fairy tale has a happy ending….

p.s Long live Slick Rick

p.p.s what am i saying, Mos Def has never been commercially nonsensical

Stand Out?

“…..Get real they tell me, if only they knew what real really was…….”

I wanted to start a blog about music. So here it is. Dunno where it’s going, don’t really know where it’s from.
