The Daily Choice: Bibio - Jealous of Roses
It is summer. Let the glorious rays of sun beat down upon my pasty skin. Let cold Mexican beer sit in plastic red coolers and beautiful people wear tiny clothing that showcases their scalded shells. It is unexplainable but the sunshine and the beers and the semi-nudity make me yearn, yen, absolutely desire the hard-rocking beats of anything suitably hip-hop related.
My playlist over the course of the last three days has featured Mos Def, J. Dilla, N.A.S.A., and a smattering of classic J5 and the absolutely must-listen Moment of Truth. I can not explain this need, but it exists and while perusing these cold, dark interwebs I was shown a ray of light in this vaguely hip-hopesque album entitled Ambivalence Avenue.
This is an exploded pinata of hip-hop and electronic influences. A vomitous spew of knob tweaks and bass beats that though erratic in composition, has moments of thump that have me smiling in to the warm glare of the sky.
