Good bye March!

"You and me melt away...forever.....holding hands....." That's the main vocal loop in all big, spaced-out electronic Gross Magik off Tobacco's 2008 album Fucked Up Friends. The project of sometimes front man for Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tom Fec, Tobacco was picked up by the independent record label: Anticon. Now, it's interesting to note that Anticon was formed, and the catalogue exclusively existed of, independent hip-hop artists, Alias, Dose One, Jel, Odd Nosdam, Pedestrian, Why? and Sole. This was back in 1998 when indie hip-hop was just starting to get a lot of attention. The reason this is so interesting is because, now their catalogue has been diversified to include a lot more experimental/electronic music from other artists, and which I might also add is leading to a very impressive roster. I could talk about this for hours. Anywhot...I think it leads one to hypothesize on the decline of interest in indie hip-hop which is very unfortunate. Back to Tobbaco, he is putting out a new album, Maniac Meat, that features Beck of all people. It's similar to Fucked Up Friends and will be out in May 2010. For now, click the link below and enjoy!
