Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Northern State are no ordinary set of hip-hop MCs. Guinea Love, Hesta Prynn and Sprout are three white college-educated Long Islanders whose debut mini-album Dying in Stereo references Dorothy Parker, the Beastie Boys, Gus Van Sant and a whole myriad of topics in between. Cristal, clothes and self-aggrandising claims to greatness are replaced by tales of everyday life as relayed by three funny, witty, urbane women. Over old-skool and resolutely pre-Timbaland beats, Northern State's closest musical compadres would be the laid-back and cool Luscious Jackson. Attitude wise, Dying in Stereo could well be the ensuing result if the Donnas had grown up listening to the Sugarhill Gang instead of the Ramones and read the Bell Jar instead of Kerrang!. First single "At the Party" surfs the current garage-rock revival with fuzz-guitar riffs stomping messily over their minimal, back-to-basic beats, while title track "Dying in Stereo" is a lazy, soul-inflected ode to musical greatness. Liberal, pro-choice sassy female hip-hip trios aren't exactly two a penny, and even if they were, Northern State would eclipse them all. --Suzannah Brown
