Details:
With a loyal following and a history of explosive live performances, The Hoarsemen turn hip-hop inside out, using the tools of the trade--microphones, turntables, and a beat machine--but incorporating live bass, slide guitar, organ, marimba, kazoo, jaw-harp, and anything else they can get their hands on. They have been compared to acts as varied as De La Soul and Captain Beefheart, and this, their debut album, shows the scope of their sound to be even wider.

The first single, âBrown Bag,â delights with its thumb-piano percussion and lunchroom innuendo, while the rest of the album offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of sonic variety. Meanwhile, the lyrics will cause you to laugh hysterically while looking up exotic animals and culinary terms on the Internet. From the transgressive hijinx of âYouâre Not Allowed To Volunteer Here Anymore,â to the irresistible bounce of âSexshuwalâ and the electrified boom-bap of âFlavorite,â the album is just as appropriate at a barbecue as it is in a listenerâs headphones.

Combining the surreal imagery of MC Long Divisionâs verses, producer Sonny Rayâs contagious beats, and DJ Dialectâs off-kilter turntablism with vocalist Looseyâs hilarious and disturbing scenarios, Snacks & Catastrophes provides a new and exciting audio experience that is guaranteed to astound and amaze.
