I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I discovered this project earlier this year in January. I was a bit hesitant to check it out at first, due to the album cover picture, title, and bizarre band name. But I'm really glad I did. There isn't a dull moment on this whole thing, and there's something to chew on in each lyric spat. I don't regret checking these guys out. They've opened my mind up to a whole new world of art, music, and Hip-Hop that I was only somewhat aware of existed previously

An imaginary soundtrack album filled with cosmic funk, boogie, and disco; both highly electronic but also heavily organic.

Another new find thanks to shazaming this track as it featured in the warm up tracks for a gig last night, really looking forward to listening to the whole work on cassette when it arrives.
