New Music – Halloween On Christmas
“Candlesticks in the dark visions of bodies being burned” was a bar from Geto Boys that was striking enough to replay in the mind even far after “Mind Playing Tricks On Me” ended. Now nearly 30 years after the initial release, clipping. who has been one of the more engaging and intricate rap trios rework that paranoia and anxiety into their newest record that follows the same name.
Visions Of Bodies Being Burned is more an illusionary title from the heralds of Los Angeles that are almost seemingly where the blood runs cold. The first track after the “Intro” is “Say The Name” which reads more like a storybook than a straight-forward hip-hop record. Almost as if lyricist Daveed Diggs was a nighttime narrator to scare kids around a campfire. Only that campfire involves more of the sadistic and twisted chronicles that come from leaking holes in the head.
As the instrumentation divulges into more of an orchestra of horror with synths and clamoring metallic sounds, “Say The Name” is John Carpenter if he made a hip-hop track. The frantic synth work is sonic apprehension and uneasiness that transports throughout all of Visions Of Bodies Being Burned.
Especially on later pieces like “Check The Lock” that manage to have both an incredible amount of depth and layering but at the same time feel so minimalistic. The paranoia becomes overwhelming now as the lyrics describe, “Something in this room didn’t used to be, gin bottle to the face, can’t fool a G… He run the motherfucking city, yeah they know. But he check the lock every time he walk by the door.” With a higher productive dive from William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes, Visions Of Bodies Being Burned can be both intriguing and a worst nightmare.
The fever dream that follows as “Looking Like Meat” which features New Jersey’s favorite mutants, Ho99o9. The trifecta of panic and Abaddon based narrators comes together to fit the rather rapid and crashing undertones of Visions Of Bodies Being Burned. clipping. resorts more to being the boogeyman of walls of noise as the sharp synths rage and resemble an Atari 2600 going haywire.
But the burning continues and seems to be an endless ring of torture as clipping. are more ritualistic than previously and more in touch with creating a collection of utter dread. As Visions Of Bodies Being Burned continues to spin before the needle is taken off, clipping. digs broken nails into the sofa as the brain eventually shuts down.

Classic Day – Three’s Company
It’s rare for a supergroup that combines the likes of Dave Grohl from Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Josh Homme from Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age, and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin to continue to age so gracefully like Them Crooked Vultures has.
As time progresses and the grains of sand seem to fall in the cracks, Them Crooked Vultures is a self-titled adventure over 13 tracks that glues the beauty of the desert heat with the psychedelic for a melting experience. Even though originally being released in 2009, Them Crooked Vultures has been one of the more interesting groups of the last decade that can both hit hard enough to shift the speaker’s subs, but also be concise enough to pinpoint the success of a rock sound.
The undertones begin with “No One Loves Me And Neither Do I” which introduces Grohl on the percussive assault. To the defensive rescue follows Homme on guitars and vocals while Jones is able to command on the bass. While the first moments of “No One Loves Me And Neither Do I” are actually quite subtle and inviting, by the halfway mark of the five-minute track, Them Crooked Vultures turn into a personified Maxwell “Blown Away Guy” advertisement.
The necktie and martini fly back as the guitars become turned to a lower frequency and the bass becomes more of a punch instead of a waltz. As Homme describes, “I know how to burn with passion, hold nothing back for future ration. Give all you are, do not make haste. Savor every single taste, you get got.” nearly immediately after, the instrumental nose dives into this rampage of blitzing percussive rolls and string ensembles that act like a tidal wave for the audience to be drowned under.
Almost a pleasurable death follows and tramples into the artistic endeavor that is disguised as “Elephants,” which shows a side of craftsmanship where all members receive this soapbox to stand upon and display their playing talent. “Elephants” not only has one of the more engaging instrumentals from Them Crooked Vultures, but their delivery is unbelievably clean and focused. Nothing seems to fall to waste here as every note that builds under Homme’s vocals continues to sculpt a foundation of untouchable obsidian.
With a legacy as strong as Led Zeppelin or even Queens Of The Stone Age or Foo Fighters, there is a cardinal instinct that the record will be fantastic. No matter the circumstances, Them Crooked Vultures ages like a fine wine, only that wine is as strong as Everclear and as smooth as water; a still dangerous combination to be held even a decade later.

Misc. Day – Unknown Ether
Detroit was once the pinnacle of an automotive industry but in the backing always had this underlying vein of musical talent that rose to the top as a bubbling cream in a cup of scorching coffee.
With the Bruiser Brigade that helped put names like Danny Brown and ZelooperZ coming out of the Motor City on household mention, Detroit also is home to Black Noi$e who on his newest joint project features a plethora of hip-hop’s newest loves. From MIKE to Pink Siifu to even the icons like Earl Sweatshirt, OBLIVION is able to give sanctuary for these artists and truly expand on their direct styles.
Opening with an instrumental work, “14 Trillion” over 23 seconds, the harsh radio static and amplified feedback is a segueing piece that introduces Raphy into the mix with “Sorry.” Closer to the relation of a spacious Clams Casino work, the obsessively sluggish vocal sample is distorted enough to refrain from human-esque elements. More a scream of agony that is twisted to the tipping hi-hats and the warped claps. Almost every moment on “Sorry” is spent underwater where the delivery isn’t clear, but it doesn’t have to be as the following track with MIKE is a reawakening of the spiritual eye.
Similar to sunshine hitting the bay windows in the summer, “Tight Leash” is still foreboding to fit the theme of OBLIVION but more expressive and feels on the same plane as a lucid dream. Waves crash as MIKE delivers “I pray solace for the victims, pain all around the sphere. Remain solid through the schisms, chains all that I can clear.” As the knives become sharpened through OBLIVION, Black Noi$e is illustrative and can sculpt in-depth relationships with each artist.
A true moment of chemistry comes from “Mo(u)rning” where Earl Sweatshirt and Black Noi$e connect like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers in Predator. The Intense handshake is the drained production from Noi$e which taps and slides perfectly into Sweatshirt’s cold mausoleum delivery. Describing, “She was eager to leave but it ain’t me with my eyes damp, feet stampeding through mine shafts. Canaries singing, the wire’s tapped offerings on the shrine, reclaiming my time like Aunt Max.”
In a verse that spends more time being an enigma with references to seeds of hope and SIG Sauer’s, “Mo(u)rning” is a distant enemy that lurks in the shadows and uses the cover of nightfall to disappear after the short arrival.
But OBLIVION is not all about the stench of death that lingers, BbyMutha claps back OBLIVION like a rack of ribs and delivers one of the more bombastic tracks of the record. “Mutha Magick” spends more time conquering the spotlight with a higher paced instrumental and an 808 that could crack skulls. “Mutha Magick” injects a dose of sonic energy that both revives and takes OBLIVION into a different sense of scale.
But that’s all before the 24-minute journey ends, where performances fall back to even and the vivid acid-tones leave burns on the brain. Black Noi$e spends time to boost the featured artists and in the process, turns the eyes onto his engrossing production.
