The Bug – London Zoo
Released on August 12 on Ninja Tune.
London Zoo is, said as straightforwardly as possible, one of the most striking and
unmistakable albums to hit the shelves so far in 2008. The
England-based brainchild of Kevin Martin borrows from the musical
heritage of Jamaica to form heavy, lumbering, blisteringly rage-filled
music that is sure to drive off as many listeners as it attracts. But
while the scowl this album wears makes much hardcore rap look like
child’s play, the album’s polarizing effects are a sign of its
ingenuity—Martin’s sensibilities regarding darkness and repetition make
it the perfect collection of anthems for sneering and cursing as you
cut off other drivers on the highway.
