Shabazz Palaces (2014)

5.0/ 10

“With more motifs and musical dead-ends than legitimate songs, the new Shabazz Palaces album is suffocated with a surprising amount of filler.”

Favorite tracks: FORERUNNER FORAY, THEY COME IN GOLD, #CAKE, MOTION SICKNESS, NEW BLACK WAVE

Least favorite track: SOLEMN SWEARS

Shabazz Palaces’ Sub Pop debut Black Up breathed indelible soul into the Seattle duo’s formidable style, but the duo of Ishmael Butler and Tendai Maraire have since decamped to parts unknown. Lese Majesty boasts 18 songs grouped into seven suites, with a subtle science fiction theme; if that sounds proggy, get used to it.
