"General" is my favourite.

Look, I don't mean to jump on some hipster blog bandwagon here
Don't worry, still too damned by faint praise for that.

Might check 'em out in Brussels tonight. Worth it?

I found the album a bit much on the first listen but have been meaning to go back to it. Sounds like they would be incredible live though.

Might check 'em out in Brussels tonight. Worth it?i heard they throw tons of "illegal" samples in the mix live. so i bet it's one big mash-up pirate party. should be fun, exotic ladies shaking their butts etc.

Like most MIA songs, that first track benefits very little from MIA's vocals.

Black Diamond is pretty good
baile is usually more choppy than this, I like how they weave some rushy high-tech house music into it (eg. the buildup on "IC19")
and yeah General is cool ... autotuned out, kinda sounds like one-drop reggae

their fabric mix isnt bad. kinda fun, in a big dumb kind of way, and hard to ignore, but a bit of a mess too.
