Restiform Bodies :: TV Loves You Back
.................................................. ....................
"Restiform Bodies certainly sounds like the Anticon group that it is.
The familiar flow of twisted words that serve as social commentary and
progressive yet minimalist MPC-created beats are prevalent on all
tracks on their sophomore LP, TV Loves You Back. The sonic resemblance
they bear to their Anticon peers comes as no surprise, considering two
of its members (vocalist/MC Passage and instrumentalist/programmer
Telephone Jim Jesus) have released solo records for the Bay Area indie
hip hop label. However, the trio, which is rounded out by programmer
Bomarr, has managed to carve out its own identity within the roster of
likeminded art-hop musicians that they've found themselves a part of.
Restiform Bodies may be one of the most consistently listenable
artists on the label, due in large part to their willingness to craft
hooks and counterbalance with their grittiness with a well-defined
melody, a welcome departure from the dissonance and discordant sounds
that many Anticon artists prefer." - Reviewed on Tuesday, October 14,
