Santogold – Creator / L.E.S. Artistes [Lizard King Records]

Recently released on Lizard King Records is Santogolds new double A-side 12“ „Creator / L.E.S. Artistes“. „Creator“, which has been created alongside the likes of Switch and Freq Nasty, clearly aims at the bashment crowd stuck between the music of M.I.A., Ragga- / Dancehall-vibes and caribbean influences. Plus those who’ve been touched by Chemical Brothers massive tunes „Galvanize“ and „Rize Up“. On the flip „L.E.S. Artistes“ seems to deal with a more song-oriented attitude including melancholy and proper choruses and all that – a tune that goes out to the Pop / Mainstream massive but still has a bit of PostPunk-influence glimpsing round the corner.
