MH-264 K-The-I??? - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow K-The-I??? marks a thunderous return to Mush with his latest full-length, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. Production on the album is handled entirely by Thavius Beck, his first project since he finished work on Saul Willaims' Niggy Tardust alongside Trent Reznor. Where his debut, Broken Love Letter, focused on past loves gone wrong, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow is a collection of songs about the MC's cross country relocation, and trying to come to terms with how his life has changed from that. The result is a work of singular focus that catches K-The-I??? at his strongest, dropping ingenious lyrics over Blade Runner beats. The album features a stellar line-up of guest MCs as High Priest of a newly reunited Antipop Consortium, Busdriver, Subtitle, Scribble Jam winner Nocando, Vyle, and Mestizo all drop in. Thavius Beck even leaves the producer's desk and steps in front of the mic for a track. For fans looking for an album that ties hip-hop's past, present and future, K-The-I???'s Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow delivers.

Bibio is best described as Brian Eno dressed like an Ewok alone in the wilderness of the future. Also, he’s drunk on dandelion wine. Too outré? Okay, let me try again... Vignetting the Compost is a wonder to listen to: ethereal songs (or, if you prefer, soundscapes) unbounded by rules. It’s an album that you could put on while you’re painting your house and think you haven’t heard the same thing twice before you realize that you’re stoned off of the fumes and you’ve painted it thrice. “Under the Pier” is a treat for anyone who misses the ocean. “Weekend Wildfire” effortlessly meshes the sounds of trees and wind with acoustic guitars. If ever you feel the urge to run off into the trees because society is driving you mad, listen to Vignetting the Compost first, then make your decision. - See
