Shabazz Palaces' new album Back Up was quite fresh. The combination of sounds they blend is quite unique as they mix dub-style basslines (sans wobble), electronic glitches and samples/loops with classic Hip Hop tendencies....and lyrically speaking they address some rather heavy subjects too – politics, insurrection, sex etc. Some parts sound ghostly and haunted, others sound completely left, while some tracks go real hard. They have that "roses: box-of-chocolates" effect on me - don''t know what to expect.
‘Swerve…’ will give you a good idea of what Shabazz Palaces is about but I would definitely recommend listening to the album as a whole to get the full picture.
