Aural crack

Die Antwoord are a rap / rave band from South Africa who released their first album '$0$' as a free download a couple of years ago using a pc computer. They became an overnight internet sensation and this year have taken it to the next level with a new album Ten$ion and it's accompanying single 'I Fink U Freeky'.

I'm not sure whether the band is a high-art meets low-brow project, an extended joke at the expense of it's fans, a cynical attempt to boost their sales through the addition of an unnecessary shock factor a la Marilyn Manson or just a bunch of musicians pushing their boundaries and following their muse down whatever twisted alleyways it chooses to lead them. Either way it's music that reaches inside your brain, grabs your frontal cortex and doesn't ever stop shouting into your inner year.

The clip below probably isn't safe for work and definately isn't something to watch with kids around. It's probably also worth skipping if you don't like 90's styled rave, rap, bad language, bad haircuts, bad tattoos, rats, snakes, gangster posturing or South African accents. If anyone is left, welcome to your new internal soundtrack.....

Go on Marin - just one more listen.....
