Flash Bang Grenada – 10 Haters (Review)

Flash Bang Grenada

10 Haters

Released by Hellfyre Club


Absurdist narratives placing “bouquets of penises” alongside “duvets with Jesus jizz” and making “the tea party speak Farsi” are unleashed at light speed over some of the L.A. beat scene’s finest backdrops on Busdriver and Nocando’s debut as Flash Bang Grenada. 10 Haters, centered on the notion that every act of decency shall be met with hatred tenfold, is a showcase of two of the west coast’s wittier spitters stepping into a vocal booth and polishing their collective smirk into some bizarre gems.

This sing-song rapper found his place among the boundless, genreless network of living room venues and unconventional spaces that thrives like a self-spawned weed fertilized by city smog. His new album Swimming To Cambodia comes out this week on label Annie Hall Records. Nhat also has a collaborative project with Kthei???, another maestro of strange beats and verbs. They’re called 1000 Apes In A Room and their record can be downloaded for free. But, first, here’s a candid, ketchup-packet splattered taste of the L.A. DiY scene in “What was …

Chris Schlarb – ‘Threnody For Sharp Teeth and Freehold’ (STREAM)

LBC resident Chris Schlarb has been an ever expanding organism. The last Busdriver album featured the guitarist, he’s entwined in making a documentary about an ice cream man yet still finds time to score films. Crazy.

The Sold Project: Thailand, a doc the delves into the Thai sex industry, even features some of the composer’s work. And luckily enough for fans – or the unitiated – Schlarb saw fit to post “Threnody For Sharp Teeth and Freehold” on his website. Take a listen.
