MONM 3: Volcanic Sunlight by Saul Williams

I’m a big fan of Saul’s Trent Reznor produced The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! from 2007. What we have here is a less abrasive, (although with the punk-rock influences kept firmly in place) venture that is also more polished and accessible.

Once again I’ll allow myself to indulge in the cliche of using a blend of artists to describe an artist that by all means should be described on his own terms. If you could resist describing this album as a holy alliance of Lennie Kravitz and Nine Inch Nails, then fine, you’re a better person than I am.

As I was listening to it Saul announced on his twitter that he’s signed with YMCMB. I found that pretty surprising, but regardless, I expect we’ll be hearing a lot more of this album in the coming months because of this.
