Not Many Experts

Got to say that I think “Rad Pitt” is the absolute worst way you can introduce yourselves to the incredibly talented Egyptian Hip Hop. Not that it’s a bad song, and it’s perhaps purposefully laid back, but it does drift from being lazily brilliant to just sluggish, in parts, though it’s easy to see bags of potential if it’s tightened up, and we should remember that we are just listening to early demos. To be fair, I think I’d almost be more disappointed if their early demos were strangely polished, finished pieces of music; the possibilities with this band are endless.

If anything, that early potential has already been realised in their first release, which you can exchange your meaningless human pounds for on 1st March. Far from the languid stroll through their own musical ability that “Rad Pitt” was, “Heavy Heaven” and “Hazel Groove” nail down a complete and confident sound without forcing themselves into a constraining pigeon hole too early on in their very young career. From this incredibly textured foray into subtly electronic tinged indie, not only does further success beckon, but, most importantly, almost anything is possible. It’s almost that lack of knowledge of which way the band are going to turn next that marks them out from their contemporaries, and possibly explains why so many people are beginning to have their heads turned from this extraordinary young band.
