VINYL FORMAT. Dalek has rightfully gained iconic status as one of the finest alt-hip hop bands of our time. Until recently "resolutely underground," Dalek methodically undermines every idiotic idiom perpetuated by mainstream rap, choosing instead to blend assaultingly hypnotic rhymes with a corrosively atmospheric, electronica-inflected hard rock sensibility.

Think My Bloody Valentine + Tool + early Wu Tang combined with Massive Attack and Aphex Twin and you only begin to wrap your brain around what Dalek has unleashed with each album release, each collaboration, each remix...
