Restiform Bodies' TV Loves You Back

TV Loves You Back is a dark and dense, art-twisted, New Wave-inflected hip-pop marvel born of our over-stimulated dumbed down era. Ghetto-tech, suburban doofus crunk, and hyphy twirp and twirl with Eno-like atmospherics and buoyant bass swells, while rapper/songbird Passage warps his vocals over blistering synth. Like electron shots from a cathode ray tube, TV Loves You Back forms a sardonic image of end times living.

Dooom is Kool Keith, Dr. Octagon, Black Elvis, etc. ... Dr. Octagon is an all-time classic that you obviously have never heard. Unfortunate. Do yourself a favor and pick that and Keith as Black Elvis up. If you want to see Keith influences, just check out everything Andre 3000 does. The opening track on the original Octagon will show you where he got it from ...
