White Flight

'White Flight '

Nitemare hippie-boy loser discovers where it's at.

Spin Rating7 of 10

From the ashes of Kansas emo band the Anniversary (who recorded two increasingly experimental albums before breaking up in 2004), singer/guitarist Justin Roelofs emerges with this wonderfully bizarre solo project. Imagine early Beck, laced with heavier psychedelics, constructing a cut-up folkie/hip-hop montage with gentle acoustic guitars, hammering drum machines, winningly out-of-tune choruses, and new-wave synths. On paper it may sound like a willful, clichéd mess, but from the lovely "Song for Augustine, Pt. 2" to the dope beats of "Deathhands," it's an ADD delight.
