Gonjasufi – Kowboyz & Indians

I’ve only literally started listening to this record just today (though I’ve been listening to it almost ALL day long), so this could be the first “Heavy Rotation” to later find its way into “Under Review”…this record is such a HEAVY TRIP!!! Some people are calling this “Psych-Hop” but that title seems woefully inadequate to describe the flurry of sounds put together by (primarily) Gaslamp Killer and Gonjasufi. Sufi’s vocals aren’t quite otherwordly but they don’t really sound as if they belong to man himself. They seem too weathered, too unpredicatable to come from someone so relatively young. This one is an early favorite for my Top 10 of the year.
