you need to become familiar with the hypnotic brass ensemble if you are not already (requisite new yorker profile here). they’ve been doing yeoman’s work making reliably awesome songs and albums for many years, always threatening to blow up in the mainstream, but never quite going off. for the upcoming ep the heritage on dublin-based choicecuts, HBE have done a cover/re-interpretation of the outkast classic “spottieottiedopalicious” that will hopefully put them on the radar of more people who should be giving them their due. stream it below, download it here, and learn more about the heritage ep here.
