Nathan Lee has brought a new style to the important section of hip-hop, beatboxing. By incorporating his flute into his already sick skills, this dude is absolutely insane. Another master of the box comes out and steps it up with a quick tempo, multi-genre, layered sound.
If your looking for a collection of mainstream pop rock, than this album isn’t for you. With their second full length album release under Dangerbird records, Silversun Pickups conjure up the sounds of 90’s alternative rock past. An orchestra of distortion fills your ears behind the moody vocal work of Brian Aubert.
