and it was all created within a matter of weeks from inception of the band through to finished LP
Gestating in the twisted bowels of the Bay Area for six years
from the dense slivers of samples informing the Bomb Squad’s productions to Plunderphonic’s trash-compacting of pop music to Justin Bieber 800% Slower
taking stylistic cues from peers like Gang of Four and Wire--propulsive bass
flavoured occasionally by squalling feedback and Michael Gira's general sense of disgust at consumer culture/wage slavery/the human race
KENDRICK LAMAR - Damn. 2LP exotica and it was all createdA powerful, raw, personal album that does away with all the pretension and perfectionism of his last few records. Here he sounds angry, distressed, and uneasy with his exposure as a hip hop celebrity. Kendrick still experiments with new sounds (especially on Pride, Love, and career highlight XXX), but expresses these ideas in a way that is immediate and relatable. In fact, there is more variety on here than any of his previous records.
