Thieves Like Us – Again And Again (Review)

Thieves Like Us

Again And Again

Released by Shelflife Records


Thieves Like Us are two Swedes and one American living in Berlin, Paris, and Milan. This multi-national band is out with their second long player Again and Again, recorded in early 2009 in a basement in Paris.

Kenan Bell – Until The Future (Review)

Kenan Bell

Until The Future

Released by Sonata Cantata Records


“You never heard something like this before” goes the first line of Los Angeles-based rapper Kenan Bell’s (that’s pronounced “Ken-en,” not “Keen-en”) informs us on “Fruit and Vegetables” from his debut full-length, Until The Future. It’s quite a statement, a bit of a platitude, and, well, despite Bell and his production team’s best efforts, not entirely true. Bell has a style a little reminiscent of Cadence Weapon or Aceyalone (with whom he’s collaborated), and most apparently, Kanye West's lackadaisical flow and penchant for puns and jokes – though Bell is an overall better and smarter MC. Unfortunately, sometimes he moves from inspiration to near-plagiarism: "Chlo,” for example, opens with chords rather reminiscent of OutKast’s “ATLiens,” and has a hook that literally goes “throw your hands in the air.”
