13&God
[Alien Transistor]
This is the group who introduced the Californian label Anticon's universe (where abstract hip hop, folk and electronica get along well) to the European public, thanks to their collaboration with the duo Themselves on the album "Cold House" released in 2001, and then on a magnificent split single in 2004 on which the track of Themselves outdid the one of our English friends with its beauty and strangeness. Now, it's The Notwist's turn to work with this trio founded by the rapper Doseone, the producer Jel, and Dax Pierson (who was recently hurt in an accident during his tour with Subtle), for a first EP "Men of Station", and an eponymous album, which is absolutely magical! There's a real alchemy here, and from the beginning of Low Heaven, it becomes obvious to the listener that these two prestigious bands, who master the sound each in their own way, managed to create together an unique universe made of strange landscapes suspended in time and space, between pop, folk electronica and abstract hip-hop. This is a real gem, surely one of the greatest of 2005 and a nice "stone" in rock history.
