As a member of the group Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tom Fec has been working on a side project called Tobacco for a few years now. With his soft-more release under the great Anticon label, Maniac Meat is a low down electronic hip-hop sound that flows through your speakers as if you were dancing and grooving to an old 90's video game sound track. Tom Fec succeeds this summer where the Gorillaz album couldn't.
This album is strung together on smooth synths and bouncing drums, and with help on a few tracks from Beck. The first track worth mentioning is called Fresh Hex. Indeed what a proper title for this infectious beat and sound. Becks vocals shine softly through the ever exciting feel of a hex being placed over you. Feel free to let it flow through you as each song does just that. Flowing through track by track you feel obligated to keep going just to see what the end is like. This album is truly a step forward for Tom Fec. Each song is beautifully put together and interestingly sinks into your skin having you up and dancing to the rhythm. while each song on the album adds its own different feel dont forget to stop and listen to the track Creepy Phone Calls. This well produced track is worth a listen too. It makes you swell up like a balloon and fills you with tiny electroids bouncing up and down your balloon shaped body.

ReplyDeleteGreat review on the Tobacco; right in line with where I have it. Should be in my top 10 if not 5 for the year.
