Release Notes:
The Square Egg's third and best album, in fact the crew's third album in the
stretch
of a single year, a more stridently social and political effort with a wildly
adventurous sound! SQ is just about the most individualistic project you'll find
in the Nusoul underground, featuring spoken, rhymed, and word jazz vocals by
Lee; with laidback support by a revolving cast on beat programming, Fender
Rhodes, soul jazz guitar, bass and drums, horns, and occasional cuts and
scratches. It's a tough sound to pin down, with the spoken word interludes,
jazzy vocal numbers and righteous rhymes, but one that's cleverly steeped in
disparate influences that still manage to sit well together. So many ambitious
underground artists try to meld influences from De La Soul to Herbie Hancock,
from the Last Poets to the Black Rock Coalition, together in the same stylistic
frappe and fail miserably. Square Egg pulls it off, and richly deserve a little
bit of attention for the effort!
