Brothers Backword will do for the Beastie Boys what the Bourne Ultimatum did for James Bond....
Unpretentiously, Brothers Backword are a 21st century update on the classic components of that made hip hop and dance music so lovable in the first place. David Bryant or Passage (Restiform Bodies / anticon.) and Mike Busse (Chronic Future, Modern Art Records partner) rap and sing in legible, irresistible flows. Topical tracks like "Special Education," essentially a rap rendering of the film Notes on a Scandal, wind away from convention far enough to refresh themselves, but swing swiftly back to Earth with syrupy hooks, damaged yet effective verses and provocative bridges.
Dave and Mike coo and holler like hood rats, immune to the outsider politics and hang ups so common to indie rap. Dave and Mike are the classic "big guy, little guy" combo. Standing 5'7 and 5'11 Brothers Backword set the stage for impressive, tempo melting performances, and their vocal abilities flex to demonstrate the equivalent in their recordings.
The "Stupid Intelligent" mix-tape proves the perfect hunting ground for Passage and Busse. They interact with, infect and invade every track, from Mr. Oizo to Talking heads to Nas. Fearless of studio magic, they add talk box back ups to Shannon and manipulate hooks from beyond memory. Suitably aggressive and comedic lyrics weave in and around chopped, meticulously syncopated Christian Bale sound bites. With an EP due out late this summer, Brothers Backword's "Stupid Intelligent" mix tape is a glimpse of what's to come, but in this future I don't know if we can win this war.
Saw you guys at the Rhythm Room last week and that shit was awesome. I can't seem to stop listening to your mixtape. Eagerly awaiting more releases and hopefully a downloadable version of Malfunction...
