The buzz surrounding Santogold's debut album has been deafening since before the album was even completed! When the first Santogold tracks began to circulate in 2007 they instantly captured everyone's imagination with their marriage of experimentation and pop and with their ability to obliterate genres. They revealed a sonic rebel with a punk soul and a spellbinding voice. Santogold arose from the ashes of Stiffed, the acclaimed band where Santi White first melded punk, dub, new wave, and rocksteady. No longer confined by the limitations of a band, she began to incorporate electronics and to work with various collaborators including producers John Hill, Diplo, Switch and Disco D. Santogold, the album, isn't just one of the years most anticipated records; it's the sound of a woman unafraid to change all the rules.
