Fluorescent Black

VINYL FORMAT. Six years after they parted ways to pursue separate projects, Anti-Pop Consortium have reunited and recorded their fourth album, Fluorescent Black. It represents the group's best work yet, a seventeen track masterpiece that moves through moods, concepts, beats and rhymes with the mind-bending ease which has always characterized their output, but expands their work out further in every direction. This is an album where certified APC bangers like "New Jack Exterminator" and "Apparently" nestle up to the future-funk of "Volcano," the android-soul of "The Solution," sly but heartfelt crooning on "Born Electric," howling-at-the-moon weirdness on "Timpani," acid-scorched keyboard shapes on "C Thru U" and "Dragunov" and pure space-cathedral magnificence on title track, "Fluorescent Black." You could go and on - it's a record which reveals new facets on every listen, a rich and deepening listening experience unlike any other record around right now - hip hop or otherwise.
