Santogold: s/t
Label: Downtown
How can you not love Santogold? Seriously, we know how subjective music can be, but here’s an album that not only bends genres unlike just about any other we can think of, but she brings enough cheer and optimism to her music to give Cut Copy a run for their money. After cutting her teeth with the Bad Brains-influenced punk band Sniffed, here she emerges as a true solo artist, giving us a terrfic album that’s a neat hybrid of electronica, dance, world, dub, grime and punk. “L.E.S Artists” is one of the year’s most infectious singles, while “Creator” isn’t far behind. One of the year’s true anthemic party records. Irresistible! (Tammy)
