Hiatus Kaiyote - Choose Your Weapon
i had actually heard this album back when it came out, and enjoyed it quite a bit. coming back to it i find myself with a fairly similar sentiment. the production is warm and punchy; it's worth noting that when i first got into Hiatus i was in the middle of a hip-hop binge and their production really catered to what i was looking for. the vocal styling took a little bit of getting used to, but the relatively smooth delivery allows me to enjoy it. it does get a little bit tedious at times though, something that never really bugged me when it first came out. i felt myself zoning out and tuning away the vocals quite a bit on this listen.
6.5/10
i saw these guys live last summer and they were even better than i hoped for.
