Brothers Backword - "Stupid Intelligent" mixtape
Brothers Backword will do for the Beastie Boys what the Bourne Ultimatum did for James Bond. Unpretentiously, Brothers Backword are a 21st century update on the classic components of Hip Hop and dance music that made them so lovable in the first place. David Bryant or PASSAGE (Restiform Bodies, Anticon) and Mike Busse (Chronic Future, Modern Art Records partner) rap and sing in legible, irresistible flows. Topical tracks like Special Education, essentially a rapped three minute rendering of the film Notes on a Scandal, wind away from convention far enough to refresh themselves, but swing swiftly back to Earth with syrupy hooks, damaged yet effective verses and downright provocative bridges. Brothers Backword coo and holler like hood rats, with none of the outsider politics or hang ups so common to indie rap. Dave and Mike are the classic "big guy, little guy" combo. Standing 5'7 and 5'11 Brothers Backword set the stage for impressive, tempo melting performances, and their vocal abilities flex to demonstrate the audio equivalent in their recordings.
The "Stupid Intelligent" mix-tape proves the perfect hunting ground for Passage and Busse. They interact with, infect and invade every track, from Mr. Oizo to Talking Heads to Nas. Fearless of studio magic, they add talk box back ups to Shannon and manipulate hooks from beyond your memory. Suitably aggressive and comedic lyrics, weave in and around chopped, meticulously syncopated Christian Bale sound bites. With an EP due out late this summer, Brothers Backword's "Stupid Intelligent" mix tape is a glimpse of what's to come, but in this future I don't know if we can win this war.
I'm honored to premiere this here. These boys have really outdone themselves on this one.

the bomarr blog returns
the bomarr blog is back from the dead with a new and improved design and some great content to come. Let's read what the author himself as to say about it:
I started it off with a track some of you may have already heard, Meanest Man Contest's remix of "Night at the Knight School" by Thee More Shallows. It's tough to pick a "comeback post" after having the blog be inactive for a few years now, so I'm going to be playing around with the format a bit and just posting some random stuff I've been enjoying lately. You may love it, you may hate it. Feel free to post feedback, suggestions, etc. Not sure I'll be posting every single day, but go ahead and subscribe to the blog's rss feed to get updated every time I post something new. Hope you enjoy. I've been meaning to start this back up for some time now.
