About

Part of a double feature with <i>Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star</i>, <i>Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines</i> is a dreamy, defiantly avant-garde take on the state of hip-hop—think Frank Zappa raised on Kool Keith. Like its companion, <i>Jealous Machines</i> stretches the group’s mellow, dislocated sound in ambitious new directions, from the sun-dazed funk of “Love in the Time of Kanye” to the murky “Late Night Phone Calls,” which sounds like deconstructed quiet storm. “He’s focused on the blurry blur/Your favorite rapper,” Ishmael Butler deadpans on “30 Clip Extension.” “He’s feeling numb dressed dapper dumb/Your favorite rapper.”
