New Records: Sole & The Skyrider Band- Plastique

Stream of consciousness hip-hop can be a bit excessive, when consumed in large quantities. Sole however, is one of those guys that never gets old. The former Anticon dude has a new record out with Fake Four Inc.
The single is “Battlefields”, a great track, if you can stand its glum atmosphere. It sounds a little bit like Cage, but that’s an unfair comparison since Cage wasn’t famous when Sole first started. The track features Markus Acher of The Notwist, and has a pretty cool accompanying video, which you can check out below. Another favorite of mine is “Black”, the epic closing track on the record. A big beat surrounds the listener, enticing it with some apocalyptic drums and synths. Various percussion instruments crash through the track, making themselves noticed while keeping a sense of mystery intact. Sole’s vocals come in, and slowly quiet down as the music does the same. The track ends larger than it started, which is something I’m glad he did. Check out the video for “Battlefields” below, along with the MP3.
