And even though he didn’t sound half bad on his Rasta tip, it’s the G-Funk vibe that’s his real wheelhouse.īush is a feel good album from start to finish and shows that Snoop and Pharrell can still drop it like it’s hot.ĭeerhunter – Fading Frontier (4AD Records)ĭeerhunter returned this autumn with Fading Frontier, a subdued yet more pleasant album than their 2013 effort Monomania.
The Beyond/Where The Giants Roam actually sounds more like a post-rock record than funk or soul or hip-hop, but all I can say is that it’s Thundercat’s strongest statement to date…ĭoes Snoop just keep getting smoother and cooler with age? With the help of Pharrell, I’d say the answer is hells to the yes.īush was conceived as a tribute to the funk and R&B of the 1970’s that has always inspired Snoop’s music, yet it is so much more than that – it places Snoop back up on the West Coast pedestal he briefly left for his turn as a Lion. And to be sure, the album is actually about grief and mourning and an attempt at catharsis for Thundercat. Yet, when I finally started to focus on the lyrics I realized that although the song was as bright as that July sun, there was something more sombre under the surface. It was summer and the sun was shining through the kitchen window and with each listen I turned up the volume a little more. It had an Isley Brothers sample that was infectious as hell and a Steely Dan vibe that I just couldn’t resist. When I first heard Thundercat’s “ Them Changes”, I played it six times in a row.
