Lese Majesty: best of 2015
A well-written retelling of his experience of the LP by Brent Ables for Coke Machine Glow. A lot of people weren't ready for LM and claimed it wasn't as good as Black Up. I don't understand that- it was a much more expansive, cohesive, greater album. But some publications, like Newsweek, The Guardian, Rap Reviews, and the CMJ could could handle it. Listening to Ish's new music for the first time is an experience somewhat akin to reading a Borges story for the first time... too strong for many. Repeated doses however do clear up any remaining symptoms of confusion.
New interview for your ears
This is a half-decent audio interview from a Lisobonian operation. Longer than the usual soundbite-length shit.

Adult Jazz - Springful (Shabazz Palaces remix) & News
When the groove kicks in halfway through, find yourself in a lush world of moist foliage and golden smiles in abundant layers with the freshest company.
I had a brief chat with Ish recently and told him how much I loved this song and how glad I was to hear him playing guitar and bass again. He said that the direction of his new stuff will indeed be more guitar/bass driven. YES!!!! Rejoice, friends.
