Lazerbeak

Artist- Lazerbeak
Album- Legend Recognize Legend
Label- Doomtree
Genre- Vaguely hip-hip, indie mostly

It’s unclear what the slant on this album is: the sticker says hip-hop, yet there’s no rapping to be found and this sounds mostly like Miike Snow with a slightly gruffer singer. Lazerbeak is part of/ a main producer for the Doomtree collective of hiphop artists- notably he helped produced the Dessa album. “Salt and Sea” is INSANELY catchy. Dessa lends some much-appreciated soothing female vocals to “Bound”, a more chill track. Opener “Dream Team” may seem a little dull at first, but the song blows up to a huge chorus with about a minute left. Blending electronic beats and typical indie-rock style, this is an intriguing effort.
