Well this was quite the treat this morning. El-P threw a snippet off his next album on Soundcloud (which I saw via Facebook; see, sometimes it does pay to be on “the social network”). He titled it “This happens somewhere on my new album.” Hmm. I’m digging the guitar on this, and hoping that this dude, whoever is playing this, appears more on the record. I believe it is still tentatively called “Cancer For the Cure“, but don’t quote me on that. Here’s the stream:
[*EDIT: He must have just taken it down, I guess. The page doesn't even exist anymore.]
[*EDIT#2: El just posted on Facebook, "poof. you snoo-zed, you lose-ed". There you have it. Bummer, cause this was tasty.]
I regard his last album, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, as one of the best albums of the 2000′s, one of my personal favorites, and the quintessential post-9/11 big city/New Yorker paranoia LP. If you’ve never heard it you should get your hands on a copy sometime today.
And here’s a pretty cool performance of him doing “How To Serve Man” live in Philly (earplugsss):
