Brandon Backhaus
Brandon Backhaus has been asleep at the wheel for a decade. He just woke up smashed in a roadside ditch surrounded my empty Mike's Hard Lemonade bottles, and Ragga Jungle mixtapes. And after taking stock, has decided to hitchhike back to life, pausing only to belt out the occasional, "It's the Final Countdown", masturbate, and be mouth-raped by Cap't Crunch.

Nocando - Last Man Standing
Brandon Backhaus | January 11, 2016
Nocando had a weird year. I don’t pretend to know details but his falling out with Milo over Toothpaste Suburb to his no longer hosting Low End Theory, seemed to have the veteran LA rapper reevaluating some shit. And I respect that. We all...

James Supercave - Better Strange
Brandon Backhaus | January 7, 2016
James Supercave’s falsetto funk is so fucking delicious and weird. Makes me want to tell you the truth about everything. Even more than I already do.
They have a sound that sounds like James Supercave, like sails blown by...

See More Perspective - "Land of the Sandpeople"
Brandon Backhaus | December 16, 2015
Chicago rapper See More Perspective's "Land of the Sandpeople," featuring Guante and produced by Nye, just dorked up my already dork-filled anticipation of the new Star Wars.
I decided the only way...

Daedelus and Kneebody - Kneedelus
Brandon Backhaus | December 15, 2015
I’m not gonna sit here and list all the names involved in this Kneedelus project. Who has that kind of time and access to google?
All you need to know for now is that fucking Daedelus is a god of a producer and his collaborations...

Howie Lee - Mù Chè Shān Chū
Brandon Backhaus | December 10, 2015
The best thing about writing for Syffal, beside the lifetime supply of bacon, beard balm, and honey sticks in the break room, is that there isn’t any homework. Show up, learn the lesson, and then go do that shit. This shit. Writing about music. Any music....

Walter Gross - Clockwise
Brandon Backhaus | December 10, 2015
Just because I won't call it haunted doesn’t mean there aren’t demons inside.
Walter Gross' piercing, dramatic "Clockwise" pulsates to a rhythm of pure suspense. He lives between shoes dropping. He holds you off a balcony and then slows time...

L'Orange & Kool Keith - The Green Ray
Brandon Backhaus | December 6, 2015
You know you’re doing something amazing when you can make a track with Kool fucking Keith and I take time out of my Sunday watching Home Alone for the first time with my son to talk about your jazzy production: but BALLS if...

World Premiere: Dildo of God - This is Hate
Brandon Backhaus | November 23, 2015
Dildo of God?
More like vibrator of my ear clits. Yes, clits, plural.
That's what makes music so stimulating. Now, grab a hold of your pillow and arch your back like you know.
I half expected some rapey bro metal, Satanic porn pop, or maybe...

Bleubird - Keith Haringbone
Brandon Backhaus | November 19, 2015
This mother fucker Bleubird is not only embracing his roots, after a career spent in a van on the road pointed any direction not towards home, he's pulling Fort Lauderdale's panties down and spanking the shit out of her.
I first came to...
