Latest effort from the former cLOUDDEAD man here and it's full of pleasant surprises. Taking on the form of a brilliant avant-garde mix of indie-rock, hip-hop, electronica and even pop it's quite overwhelming at first, but the strength of the tunes and the lyrical hooks (see: "Billy the Kid did what he did and he died" ad infinitum) keep you listening, and eventually it all starts to make more sense. Stand out tune for me though is the incredibly indie-pop Fatalist Palmistry which sounds more like Teenage Fanclub than any hip-hop and is a cracking tune. Why? Who cares when it's this good...
Sorry.
