An odd combination of IDM breaks, hip-hop beats, and occasionally indie-rap style lyrics makes for a beautiful decayed style of music. Granted I have no idea what to tell people when they ask what I’m listening too, but I think that’s a good thing. I’d be lying if I said it was one of the [...]

Better known for its connection to mentor Eazy-E and it’s members Jewish heritage than for it’s music, Blood Of Abraham put out the little-noticed Future Profits in 1993, then promptly disappeared. It’s been a long time coming, but BOA has finally released a follow-up, and it’s well worth the wait, a conceptually audacious song cycle [...]

While it sits relatively small at only 9 tracks with album art strangely re mindful of [...]
