"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

"TV Loves You Back" review [Mean Street Magazine]


SEPTEMBER 2008
VOL 19.03

RESTIFORM BODIES
TV Loves You Back
(Anticon)

With all due respect to Kool Keith and Cannibal Ox, Restiform Bodies are one of the weirdest, oddball hip-hop groups on the map. Consider song titles like “A Pimp-Like God” and disturbing lines like “My dick gets busy like a busy bayonet” on “Foul” from the group’s new album, TV Loves You Back, and you start to get a picture of the outfit’s experimental, nothing’s-sacred approach. Icy noises and acid-tinged synths — think Diplo on mescaline and given Brian Eno’s laptop — all dovetail with the complicated, ultra-dense rhyme schemes and super-rapid-fire delivery. All we can conclude is that Restiform Bodies is spitting on ghettotech and its offspring and coming up with their own dark, abstract vision of blistering post-crunk.

Grade: B+

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$$
