I came across this pretty soon after starting my record collection in a local record store. I asked the guy working to give me something I might like. He asked me what I was into and at the time it was mostly math rock, noise rock, and hardcore punk. He handed me this album, and it being only five dollars I decided to buy it. When I played it the first time, I had no idea what to expect and barely got past the first couple tracks. It sat on my shelf for about two years, and I forgot about it. Earlier this year I was looking into Zach Hill and some of his non-Hella and Death Grips releases and found his collaboration with Mick Barr. I was into it and started searching for more Mick Barr stuff. I was surprised when I saw this album as one of the first things he ever put out, so I gave it another listen. It's a lot more enjoyable to me now, after I've gone way farther down the weird music rabbit hole, as the most extreme stuff I listened to back when I first got it was The Jesus Lizard and Big Black.

Thanks again to Dead End Hip Hop for putting Sa-Roc on my radar. Currently going through some of her releases and damn if she isn’t a talented MC.

Aa - “Promsac”
Aa is a New York electronic group featuring multiple drummers and highly processed and often unintelligible vocals. Think of a more electronic-oriented, more euphoric HEALTH in some ways. I caught these guys live a few months ago at Three-Links in Dallas during Spillover 2016. One of my favorite shows of the weekend, so I picked up a copy of their VoyAager album on vinyl. Quality stuff.

Flanch - “Graace”
Flanch is an experimental hip-hop project that I found while browsing Bandcamp a couple weeks back. clipping. has them featured on their Spotify playlist of things they like as well, which is a better endorsement than I could give.

Brother Ali - “Mourning in America”
Gotta give a shoutout to Dead End Hip Hop for introducing me to Brother Ali. In their AskDEHH video about who they would replace in the mainstream, his name came up a couple times. Looked him up and found some very nice, smooth yet very politically charged rap. Brother Ali seems like a genuinely great guy who believes in what he preaches.

Let’s get this out of the way:
I like Death Grips. A lot. They’re hundreds of plays higher than anyone else according to last.fm, a number that is currently going up. Niggaz On The Moon is my favorite release, while Interview 2016  is my least favorite. I wish they’d do another album that uses samples as prominently as Ex-Military again, but I get that they are probably too big to get away with that now. I’ll try not to make every other post about Death Grips.

Crater - “Crater Head”
This was on my discover weekly playlist last week and I have been listening to this album on repeat the last two days. Moody electronic music with detached female vocals, one of my favorite things in the world.
