285. SMALL BLACK "TWO RIVERS" [FT. HEEMS]!


i'm actually pretty excited to be posting the new single from Brooklyn-based {enter preferred hip genre label here} outfit Small Black, because if my memory serves me correctly this is actually their first single release since Photojournalist off last years impressive "New Chain" album! so here is Two Rivers, which emphatically announces their return in monumental style with an intense clanging, cavernous guitar chord that cuts right through you, neck hairs prick-up, shimmering synths simmer away, while a swaggering, hip-hop beat drops et pounds away hypnotically, damn this is really epic stuff! but wait, added to the mix is a truly inspired collaboration with Heems {from Das Racist} whose unorthodox, stoner drawl lends a fresh new texture et off-kilter humor to the quintessential Small Black "chillwave" sound that we all know et love. Two Rivers is going to feature on the forthcoming "Moon Killer" mixtape. i'm sure you're going to be hearing this track everywhere! it's incredibly infectious, enjoy!!!

"9am you can't sleep,
be bug'n
mean mug'n
cause Indian kids be thug'n
Indian uncles staring
Indian aunties bug'n
Indian songs-as blaring, outta windows
I be chamomile sip'n,
still tip'n, I still tip'n..."
