Sam Shepherd on the composition, London Symphony Orchestra on the performance, and Pharoah Sanders on the execution. Perhaps one would not fathom a partnership between the three acts, but indubitably, the value of the end product would be prodigious.

With the seamless blend of psychedelia, soul, and jazz, Hiatus Kaiyote hopes to be the vanguard of what is to come for the genre.

Hey, hope you’re doing well! Got a question for a list, what’s your favourite Tyler The Creator song?

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I hope you're doing good as well.
Yeah I just haven't been as active on here because I've been working a lot lately at my new job. Being a sleepaway camp counselor really is no joke and I don't have a lot of time for stuff that I used to have a lot of time for, such as writing reviews. I'm still here from time to time, and I'll still listen to new releases when I get the chance, but for now I'm not as active and that's just how it be. Hope that clears things up!! :)

Just a list to make sure I listen to the albums I wanted to before and hoping that these records won't fade into the all-consuming void.
