Dead Channel Sky [Ghostly Green Vinyl] (LP)

Amoeba Review
On Dead Channel Sky, experimental hip-hop group clipping. has created a riveting futuristic universe, mashing together razor-sharp rhymes and head-bopping beats with cyberpunk and elements of techno, acid house, drum & bass, and more. These thrilling tracks with their bouncing lyrical flow feature guests as disparate as Nels Cline, Aesop Rock, and Bitpanic. "Change the Channel" evokes the slamming energy of Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" but with rapid-fire rhymes about digital anxiety and brainwashing. Elsewhere listeners are mesmerized by the intense industrial sounds of "Go" and the skittering beats and suddenly melodic interlude within "Mood Organ." It's a fascinating listen throughout.
