Every month I come across cool albums that were not even mentioned in the weekly and monthly discussion and vote threads. This is the place to give them an honourable mention less they slip the net completely.
Despite this amazing hive brain, we can’t have our eye on everything at every time, and sometimes interesting sea creatures rise slowly through the swell to reach the surface long after the storm has settled.
SHLOHMO “The End” (Released March 22)
Not even an obscurity, but for some reason didn’t get a shout out. Four years in the making, The End is quite a beautiful piece of concept electronica about the end of the world. https://www.treblezine.com/reviews/shlohmo-the-end-review/
DJ Muggs & Mach Hommy - Tuez Les Tous. Released 29th March.
Being a DJ Muggs production it has a similar dank psychedelia as Cypress Hill but way heavier and darker in places. Not as many hooks but it’s a really addictive and near flawless 30 minutes. Easily fave hip hop album this year so far.
