about

With Gajah's latest release, the visionary, 4-song "Man the Ship" (a fitting flagship release for the band's new Bandcamp site), it's evident that his focus is still not on what is, but on what's to come. His flow is still instantly recognizable - the phenomenal articulation, the unique cadences, the tongue-splitting speed - but it's become refined and distilled and ultimately more on-point. Similarly the production values are higher, which only creates a larger canvas to lay down the representations of his vision. Each track is unique musically; The stoney jazz of "See In You" shares space with the glitchy, MBox-destroying "Walk". Waves of beautiful, reverbed feedback float over the beat on "Sponge" while the beat is almost obliterated by the Bochum Welt-like synth abuse on "Sound Blast". As experimental as this may sound on paper, all the tracks are head-noddingly addictive and kept tightly wound due to Gajah's intense emceeing and lyrics - Blown Upp Music (2011)
