Nacho Picasso and Blue Sky Black Death—Stoned & Dethroned (2015)
When I posted about this album in the "last listened to" thread, I was pretty iffy on it and gave it only very faint praise, but damn has it turned out to be a grower. I just keep wanting to listen to it lately. The production is vast sounding and multi-layered, the kind of thing you can get really lost in. And it's just drenched in mood, all full of hazy, drug-fueled menace that's evocative of corpses, dark alleys and paranoia. Even Nacho Picasso's rapping, which I found kind of generic on first listen, has grown on me. He comes off here as sort of a raspy voiced, opiate-inflected answer to Kool Keith and it really works for me.
One of my favorite tracks from this album:
