new album >shaboo strikes back<

to make it to album number three, a group has to make a compelling debut and then avoid the sophomore slump. if you reach that third record, you are supposed to be a professional, a stone-faced musical grown-up. but don’t tell that to de lux. after their 2014 debut voyager and 2015 follow-up generation, the la duo is gearing for its best and brightest lp, more disco songs about love. the difference between this album and all the rest? let s ask the band: we like to say voyage was our baby, generation was our baby all grown up and more disco songs about love thinks growing up sucks and just wants to party smart.

this is a journey into sound. a series of journeys across the globe, in-fact. this time with don leisure from darkhouse family. let us tell you a story. firstly, we first need to answer a question. who is shaboo? it began in africa. nasser barwani was the son of shabudin. at the age of 15, nasser (don s uncle) left kenya and hitch-hiked his way to london. nasser entered the movie business, occasionally finding himself in front of the camera, acting in bollywood films. it was then that nasser changed his surname to adopt a screen name - shaboo.

mittlerweile ist es bereits sechs jahre her, dass nosaj thing (auch bekannt als produzent jason chung) das erste mal im dunstkreis der low-end-theory produzenten garde aus los angeles aufgetaucht ist. nach dem futuristischen debüt *drift* und dem ersten album für innovative leisure, *home* (2013), erscheint mit *fated* nun ein album, bei dem der sound zeit hatte zu reifen. indem er alles hat wegfallen lassen, was er nicht als wichtig erachtete, hat chung einen sound mit bemerkenswerter direktheit und emotionalem potenzial geschaffen. dennoch: passend für einen künstler, der bereits charlotte gainsbourg und the xx geremixt, mit toro y moi und kendrick lamar zusammengearbeitet hat und mit james blake auf tour gegangen ist, lässt sich nosaj thing nicht so einfach einordnen. es ist nicht ganz klar, was *fated* ist: mal idm, hip hop, ambient und dann wiederum pop. was aber klar ist: wie weit nosaj thing bereits gekommen ist ...

amsterdams worst kept secret makes it back to unknown precept with his long-awaited album and first solo output since the acclaimed divine bovine tape mini-album. inspired by an evening spent in a restaurant next to a car demolition site, eindkrak s long player debut echoes the distant sound of steel being crushed and cars pressed into cubes. all this noise, in combination with the taste of good italian food, lead to the eleven tracks making up for the aptly titled brullend staal — loosely translated to weeping steel. a leisurely stroll on crumpled metal sheets, the acidic hints of oxidized metal and the smell of gasoline. inaudible and distorted vocals as if smothered by the clatter and smokestacks of steel factories. eindkrak s first full-length is all about this disquietude made of melted and straightened scrap metal. a resounding and tumultuous din. try to eat some nice gnocchis while listening to this album, and you ll see what it is all about.
