Say Goodbye to Useless

Electro-hop. Smooth and swanky beats. Don't let the first song throw you, this is not an operatic dance album, but a cinematic beat chopping mix of electronica and hip hop. Provocative and etherial, this album makes strong use of hi-hats, snares, and kicks. For fans of Flying Lotus and Blockhead. Try 2, 6, 7!, and 10.

No FCCs.

1. (3:05) Slow start, steady rhythms, french vocals.
2. * (3:36) Uptempo, etherial vocals and dance beats.
3. (4:31) Opens hot and uptempo, heavy on the symbols and drums. Nice use of off-beats.
4. (5:18) Uptempo, distortions and fast popping rhythms
5. (5:03) Hot and Up. Chirps and chimes with jazzy undertones.
6. * (4:47) Clean, midtempo, snaps and static surround dark melodies.
7. ** (4:40) Pretty slow e-strings to start. A dynamic and dramatic electro-ballad.
8. (5:02) Spooky, low, mid-tempo beats.
9. (3:17) Slow and hypnotic, static VOs.
10. * (4:13) Mid-up tempo. Hi-hats, kicks, and dramatic keyboards.
11. (2:42) Slow and longing.
