ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM (Big Dada / Warp / USA) - LIVE

Futuristic Hip Hop

 

"As a reaction to the waterred-down R&B regurgitation of mainstream hip-hop, APC are an unparalleled, post-modern music force to be reckoned with in any context." Rolling Stone

“APC continue to blow minds and fuck up those neat little categories we music journalists and record stores rely on” – XLR8R
The MC trio rhyme with distinct cadences tuned like instruments, while engineer Earl Blaize compiles keyboards, drums, and software blips into an Afro-surrealist space opera. SPIN

"It doesn't take a genius to see why Thom Yorke likes them so much; like Radiohead, Anti-pop presents a dysfunctional update of their music, replacing the usual sense of community with one alienation." NME

 

Never ones to fall for the classic rap template of shit shows and shouting, APC offer a genuine live experience, re-building tracks from scratch across an array of computers and MPCs, spitting lyrics like they care and improvising passages of real urgency and beauty.
