THEESatisfaction Share The Title Track From Forthcoming 'EarthEE' LP
Seattle hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction share "EarthEE," the title track from their forthcoming sophomore album via Sub Pop.
<p>Seattle experimental hip-hop/R&B duo <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/tag/THEESatisfaction/" target="_blank"><strong>THEESatisfaction</strong></a> drop another spacey gem with "EarthEE," the latest track off their <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/news/theesatisfaction-recognition-shabazz-palaces-erik-blood/" target="_blank">forthcoming <span class="Apple-style-span">sophomore </span>album</a> of the same name. Beginning with an orbit of whirring electronics and meandering chimes, the song accelerates into drum crashes and handclaps before rapper<b> </b><strong>STAS</strong> and singer <strong>CAT</strong> unite with a plea to "Loosen up my mind,/Lenghten and unwind/Release one time." Fellow Seattleite and <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/tag/Sub-Pop/" target="_blank"><strong>Sub Pop</strong></a> labelmate <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http://porterray.com/&sa=U&ei=YyrRVL6iGrGHsQS79oDYCA&ved=0CB8QFjAB&sig2=m1jU09U5hbCSUSh1SB_cMA&usg=AFQjCNE3UVFPX_eOd7kQ8rwahtXVD354-w" target="_blank"><strong>Porter Ray</strong></a> then emerges with a ridiculously vivid litany of details that includes "tarantulas," "hieroglyphics," "candles," and "body graffiti." The exhilaratingly heady <strong>Ishmael Butler </strong>aka<strong> Palaceer Lazaro </strong>of <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/tag/Shabazz-Palaces/" target="_blank"><strong>Shabazz Palaces</strong></a> ends the track with a similarly imagistic story that seems to be about a childhood errand gone violent, the speaker's mother telling him, "One day, you'll know exactly what it means." Listen to "EarthEE" below. THEESatisfaction's <em>EarthEE</em> LP will be released on February 24 via <a href="https://www.subpop.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Sub Pop</strong></a>.</p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p><span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="7ee659d3a8c4130ba9a72b0cfd63c614"><iframe type="lazy-iframe" data-runner-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RFbL4oIaQG4?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span></p>
