They're finally starting to get hip around my town, and they've been playing Frank and the Weeknd. As much as I wanted to hate these guys, "Wicked Games" is a really sick song. I think it's interesting they these dudes and Frank are blowing up in the same genre at the same time, as they do very similar things (conceptual albums (at least in their movement), great production, vivid, idiosyncratic lyricism) but in very different lights - obviously light and dark. It's like if Frank became consumed by his own crew's aesthetic in a very real, scary way.

I talk about scary with "Initiation" in mind as well; that song is seriously disturbing for me.
