Something else good now.... the new Cex album. On 2 CD's and 1 dbl LP. There's the vocal version of the album on one CD, an instrumental version on the other and the dbl album comprises both which is a bit of a bargain if you ask me. This is sooo good....... Being Ridden is by far the best thing by him so far. Imagine a more electronic hip hop Slint and yr someway getting an idea of what this is like. It's kind of all over the place and I'm not sure what's going on but it's 100% totally fresh and new and done with utter class. His last album was a bit shite but this one reaffirms him as a force to be reckoned with. There's more ideas on this album then you'll have heard all this year. You would want to have his children..... On Temporary Residence too......
Produced and recorded in the homes of Cex and Craig Wedren (Shudder
To Think), Being Ridden is a monumental leap forward in the career of a
guy who, at 21 years old, has already eclipsed many of his heroes in
creative risk-taking and execution alone, not to mention shear
accessibility. Layering acoustic guitars, hip-hop beats, dense bass,
bells and witty, catchy-as-hell Fresh Prince meets Eminem meets Bright
Eyes lyrical flows, Cex is just about the freshest mashing of genres
ever unleashed. As unlikely as it seems to mix hip-hop party jams, warm
IDM glitch and shades of emo and folk, he has unearthed a lost
treasure; a heretofore undiscovered gold mine of brilliant beats,
charming stories and witty rhymes. Flawlessly transforming an
ideological train wreck into a whole pile of undeniable hits, Being
Ridden is indeed "the real thing." Please note thet the limited-edition
Double LP includes both vocal (TRR55 CD) and instrumental (TRR56 CD)
versions for one reasonable price!
