Le1f - Dark York (2012): QPOC SHAKUR / #seapunk

and 'airbending' is built around a wiley sample <3

"Pocahontas ft. Kitty Pryde (produced by Drippin)"

Hrrrm, Hercules ref instead of the expected The Little Mermaid one, heh.

Couldn't get through Dark York due to the mixing on the vocals (though "Wut" made my various 2012 singles ballots), but this new one sounds pretty great on first listen. The Kitty Pryde track is a definite highlight.

I still can't comprehend people who see the vocal mix on Dark York as a bug rather than a feature.

New one's cool but doesn't have anywhere near the same "omigod what the fuck is this?" factor as Dark York let alone hearing "ΩΩΩ" in contextless isolation on soundcloud a year earlier.

Yeah, finding it difficult to get excited about. I've only given it one listen.

cosign til I die

I haven't had a chance to listen to Fly Zone yet, but I am really diggin the Hate2Wait/Lavandin/Emulator run right now...

in fact I am p much completely down with the back half of DY, which you all probably could have guessed...

I should go back to Fly Zone. I'm not sure I gave it a fair shake. I was just kinda like "THIS ISN'T DARK YORK!" *knocks everything off table* about it.

Yeah I def need to give it a listen myself

this is nice

that is nice,

i couldn't get into Fly Zone, it just kinda washed over me without leaving much of an impression.

I must be alone in liking Fly Zone way better than Dark York. Either the vocal mix was greatly improved this time out, or Le1f's particular style was better suited to Fly Zone's more uniformly hazy, echoey atmosphere.

Looking forward to the new mixtape.

Tree House has landed.

Roxor.

Stoked!

can't wait til I can listen to this tonight. Love this dude!

this is fucking good

i probably like this more than anything he's done tho i still can't totally get into him

they need to mix his vocals higher and/or he should stop rapping in a whisper

he does that live too so i think it's the latter

totally on board with this. it's like an entire tape of "Lavendin"

and still this, still still still...

good call on the lavendin comparison, all very croaky and melodic without the wild dips into lynchian weirdness

yeah, I'm way more into Tree House than Fly Zone

Seems to be the consensus, but I haven't found a way into it yet. Fly Zone, otoh, I'm still really enjoying.

Right on, exact opposite for me

I think "Jack" is my favorite song on this

shit Dark York is totally wonderful

I'm 2 tracks in

this 'Fresh' song is fucking wild

freaky thread connection which is basically confirming my theory that Le1f is Jhonn Balance reborn as a rapper

yeah, two listens-through. amazing music.

:D
