I first heard of Evil Nine listening to a mix by The Crystal Method. Though I liked what I heard, I never purchased a full album of theirs. Listening to The Crystal Method's weekly radio broadcast, Community Service on Indie 103.1, I live chatted with them and asked for an album recommendation. They recommended the new Evil Nine album, but at the time had not been released yet, so I picked up their older one, You Can Be Special Too.
Incredible. Evil Nine pushes big beat music into other genres such as rap and each song is unique. Some of the standout tracks are Crooked, Devil Stuff, Pearl Shot, You Are Not Through, For Lovers Not Fighters, and Restless.
Here their music videos for Crooked. The art style is clever, solid rap and tough beats with beautiful backup synths:
Having listened to it many times, the album is very enjoyable and their talent is heard in the attention to detail. With the recent release of their new album, They Live!, I will post that review once I have had some time with it. Until then, remember that You can Be Special Too.
