We seem to be running out of ways to call Talibam! “eclectic.” The avant-jazz/noise rock/synth-pop/improvisational duo has recently added hip-hop to their resume. They’ve been busy this year toying with the newest Dirty Projectors album as the first entry in their Launchpad series, releasing an album with Sam Kulik (TMT Review), touring all around the world, as well as dropping their newest album, Puff Up the Volume.
Puff Up the Volume sees the self-styled “No School” rappers yet again forging new sonic ground. The NYC duo (Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea a.k.a. MC Moaty Mogulz MC K-Wizzle) is crossing the Atlantic to bring their singular brand of hip-hop, wit, and blaring synthesizers for a string of shows across Europe during the month of October.
In the meantime, you can check out the video for “All Your Money” from Puff Up the Volume while you wait for Talibam! to come to your town:
