What lies beyond the hypnotic? It's the kind of thing that penetrates the subconscious and fills the mind with something that surpasses haunting -- a certain inescapable entity. Whether it's the creepy, looped beat of children's voices or the overall cold aura that sits like a dark cloud, this song is less about a hook and more about its mood and texture. If the above picture -- the official promo photo -- is any indication, the mystery that shrouds Shabazz Palaces only amplifies the mystique of the music. What's more, this sounds like an international movement, like something that bridges cultures and connects people through sound. In an indirect way, it suggests that we must dig deeper and move past the surface of things if we ever want to really know.
Stream/download "An Echo From the Hosts that Profess Infinitum" below. The song comes from Shabazz Palaces new LP Black Up, out May 31 on Sub Pop.
