Drawing from memory and community roots, the 10th album from rap innovator BUSDRIVER plays out like an ode to modern folk art via the act’s characteristically warped take on the world’s leading pop music: hiphop. Homespun and bursting with intention, “electricity is on our side” argues that the quintessential underground hiphop album is in fact the high art of the day.// A fluid understanding of electronic musics, jazz, hiphop and creative writing are once again minced into a unique configuration(underground social music) to achieve the aesthetic ends and off-kilter messaging exacted by the legendary BUSDRIVER.

B U S D R I V E R  - Electricity is on our Side (album)

Greasy Frybread (NEON NATIVEZ REMIX) - Sten Joddi

Russell Scott - Production/Keys
Andrew Block - Guitars
Deven Trusclair - Drums

Purveyors of heady electronic music, The Russ Liquid Test continue to impress with the first single from their forthcoming EP. Titled “Fanghorn”, it’s a psychedelic romp grounded in a blend of gritty bass wobbles and funky guitar work, all recorded at Neutral Sound Studios in New Orleans. 

According to the group, “The meat and potatoes of ‘Fanghorn’ came from Russell Scott and Deven Trusclair.  When they brought the track to Andrew Block, he heard it in a different way than what Russ and Devon were hearing it. Block took the track and added some really awesome guitar layers that really tied the whole thing together.” As for how the title came to be, it’s rather simple: “Whenever we start a new song, I always save my session before I get started. I generally just put the first thing that comes into my mind and this time just happened to be ‘Fanghorn.’ No reasoning behind it at all, just ‘Fanghorn.’”

The Russ Liquid Test are still riding high off the release of their 2017 EP, World Gone Crazy, a record that received acclaim from outlets like Dancing Astronaut who proclaimed “their versatility knows no generic bounds.”
