Prefuse 73
One Word Extinguisher
This band is the future of something or other. Their first release was marked by deconstructed raps that were chopped up and spliced like notes to create glitchy electronica. The songs on here vary in flavor from experimental to melodic downtempo, all with a chill loungey hip-hop feel. Sometimes it sounds a little over-polished to me. There’s less vocal texture, but I like it a lot when it appears (as on track 2). This is glitchy crunchy tweaky hip-hop flavored electronica, and nearly every track is worth playing. Highlights are 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11 (though unclean), 18, 21, 23.

13.Blatant “fuck.” Decent glitch track otherwise.
