Post Vinyl/Analog Fantom

Past rap/rock crossovers left much to be desired. The talent and ability required to blend two radically different genres is often eschewed for trashy neck tattoos. In light of this, Post Vinyl avoids genre mashing’s standard pitfalls. In both rock and rap categories, the guys are incredibly talented. "Gringo," a track off their latest album Platinum BBQ, utilizes the 1892 Isaac Albeniz classical piece "Asturias" with incredibly successful results. A dark and ominous Spanish sound mixes with a tight flow on the mic. By the end of the track, there's a great sense of completion; tying the loose ends of its failed predecessors. Expect to hear this tune and more like it when the band plays tonight at Now That’s Class. (Patrick Stoops)
