Brothers Backword - "Stupid Intelligent" mixtape

Brothers Backword will do for the Beastie Boys what the Bourne Ultimatum did for James Bond. Unpretentiously, Brothers Backword are a 21st century update on the classic components of Hip Hop and dance music that made them so lovable in the first place. David Bryant or PASSAGE (Restiform Bodies, Anticon) and Mike Busse (Chronic Future, Modern Art Records partner) rap and sing in legible, irresistible flows. Topical tracks like Special Education, essentially a rapped three minute rendering of the film Notes on a Scandal, wind away from convention far enough to refresh themselves, but swing swiftly back to Earth with syrupy hooks, damaged yet effective verses and downright provocative bridges. Brothers Backword coo and holler like hood rats, with none of the outsider politics or hang ups so common to indie rap. Dave and Mike are the classic "big guy, little guy" combo. Standing 5'7 and 5'11 Brothers Backword set the stage for impressive, tempo melting performances, and their vocal abilities flex to demonstrate the audio equivalent in their recordings.

The "Stupid Intelligent" mix-tape proves the perfect hunting ground for Passage and Busse. They interact with, infect and invade every track, from Mr. Oizo to Talking Heads to Nas. Fearless of studio magic, they add talk box back ups to Shannon and manipulate hooks from beyond your memory. Suitably aggressive and comedic lyrics, weave in and around chopped, meticulously syncopated Christian Bale sound bites. With an EP due out late this summer, Brothers Backword's "Stupid Intelligent" mix tape is a glimpse of what's to come, but in this future I don't know if we can win this war.

I'm honored to premiere this here. These boys have really outdone themselves on this one.

the bomarr blog returns

the bomarr blog is back from the dead with a new and improved design and some great content to come. Let's read what the author himself as to say about it:

I started it off with a track some of you may have already heard, Meanest Man Contest's remix of "Night at the Knight School" by Thee More Shallows. It's tough to pick a "comeback post" after having the blog be inactive for a few years now, so I'm going to be playing around with the format a bit and just posting some random stuff I've been enjoying lately. You may love it, you may hate it. Feel free to post feedback, suggestions, etc. Not sure I'll be posting every single day, but go ahead and subscribe to the blog's rss feed to get updated every time I post something new. Hope you enjoy. I've been meaning to start this back up for some time now.

Restiform Bodies "Black Friday" video

Posted 2/13/2009 1:19 PM by Faith-Ann Young

This video is dope. Directed by N.O. Bonzo, it echos some of the global economic insecurities, through animated little suited men whose heads are blown off and replaced with sea anemone-like strings (evidently that's what a restiform body is...). Meanwhile, little animated TVs, which multiply like rabbits, are juxtaposed with frenetic time-lapsed fuzzy clips of city streets (I'm thinking Oakland?) The track, appropriately called "Black Friday" is by Bay Area's electro hip hop outfit, Restiform Bodies (David Bryant-vocalist and song writer, Matt Valerio- percussionist and beat-maker & George Chadwick-synth, sample and effects slayer). Sound intense? It's actually quite hypnotic.

"Interactive Halloween Bear" Lazer Sword remix

Planning to enter the Restiform Bodies remix contest? You have some big shoes to fill, now that this reworking from the Lazer Sword boys has just arrived. Suffice to say, this electronic-heavy version of "Interactive Halloween Bear," from RBs' recently released TV Loves You Back, is suited for only the darkest and dirtiest of venues, where the quaking bassline could potentially knock your drink onto the floor. And whoever came up with that track title is an undisputed genius.

Rate 9.6/10

PASSAGE "Pass Money Multi" EP

PASSAGE's new EP untitled Pass Money Multi is now available in digital format at Circle Into Square.

Tracklisting:

1. Megashotz
2. Pass Money
3. Got It Hood
4. Pretty Much
5. My Word
6. Shouldaz
7. Boz Scaggs Drum Machine
8. Down 4 Whatever
9. Drizzle
10. Grim Rascal
11. Britespot

Here's what PASSAGE has to say about his new EP:

So real quick party corpses, I want to let you know about this collection of tracks I've been putting together. Pass Money Multi is eleven raw chunks of tracks in the making. If you like it's an EP, a premature follow up to the Restiform Bodies record the fellas and I dropped about a month ago. Or another way to look at it is a mix tape of one artist which is really what it's all about. Since nothing that happens happens slow and our "label" can't be bothered with us, I figured why fucking wait, so I've been bouncing back and forth across Oakland with Matthew Valerio's borrowed 13" powerbook, cooking these little cuts in order to put this music to work for us, nahmean. It is in this spirit that I encourage you to purchase this download of raw shit, unglossed, un tattooed/pierced, un-hairsprayed, un wardrobed un-bullshit for the new un-bullshit era which we are about to enter. And I thank you. Also I really did make a track on this mix with Boz Scaggs' Linn Drum drum machine. Plus there's four new vocal tracks on this piece. All you have to do is (hopefully) use the buy it button on my profile which should be up after 11/7. If not just message me. Peace and big ups to Bomarr for the lap top and cover art. Pa$$

Bomarr "iPhone Beats" EP

Now that these shows with the WHY? band are done, I'm selling my "iPhone Beats" CD EP online direct through me.

It's 20 minutes, 10 songs, and made entirely on the iPhone. I think I'm going to only make a limited number of these. It was fun to do. Limited, as far as what you can do, but fun. -Bomarr
